"A wise man doesn't deny his emotions, he lays them at God's feet." ~ ray mileur

Most of us were taught one of two extremes when it comes to emotions. Either stuff them down and pretend they don’t exist, or let them spill out on everyone around us. Neither one leads to peace.

God never asked us to deny what we feel. He made us human, not stone. Jesus Himself wept, felt compassion, and even showed righteous anger. Emotions aren’t the problem. What we do with them is.

A wise person learns not to be ruled by every passing feeling. Instead of reacting in the heat of the moment, we learn to pause and bring our hearts to God first. We lay our frustration, hurt, and anger at His feet and ask Him to shape our response. That’s where strength is found.

Anyone can explode. Anyone can shut down. But it takes maturity — and the Spirit’s help — to surrender our emotions to the Lord and let Him turn them into patience, kindness, and grace.

When we do that, our lives start to look different. Calmer. Steadier. More like Christ.

That’s wisdom. Not control for control’s sake, but a heart trusted to God.

Walk in faith, rest in grace, and trust the One who walks beside you.
In His love and grace,
