Significance of Negative Emotions

Good morning everyone,

I am here to write on the significance of Negative emotions.

I have been so lately but a door has opened up for so that I might have more time for my personal development and growth.

The theme scripture is "Great blessings belong to you who are crying now. You will be happy and laughing.

Luke 6:21 ERV"

I chose to use a Hopeful and positive one to really get you the idea that You have hope for deliverance from the things that make you sad.

If God wants to get you happy, he will bring understanding to your mind about his love

The magic happens as you ponder on each verse and start to draw the image of his image for you, that's how I have seen the sadness in my heart fade away slowly by slowly.

So back to the main point, the significance of negative emotions, all my life I have spent it running away from my insecurities, fears and flaws

Because they did make me uncomfortable but I have realised that by facing them , at least trying to look at them shows me how unreasonable they are and as I look at them not only by my strength but by God's , I build up my self esteem.

So face them you will realise that you are stronger than them and God being Merciful, kind and compassionate will never give you what you can't handle.

I also think God wasn't Stupid to put these feelings in us , he had a reason for this.(Sorry if this came out bad to people who don't use this phrase , I use this statement to make a logical emphasis)

Feelings like Depression, fear , Anxiety , all of us are trying to tell us to get better.

When you feel depressed , most likely its because you aren't somewhere that you want to be , so that feeling is always there to make you improve , when you improve that feeling also goes.

Fear warns us of danger so we keep safe , however it can stop us from living the lives , we should be living .it tells us where we are at the moment and if we don't like that place, we should improve.

Anxiety tells us that we lack experience in some area 

So examine each emotion and you will realise the importance of them.

Also i have learnt that feeling depressed, sad , scared is not a bad thing and we have to stop telling each other that it is.

Feeling these negative emotions are important messages to us about where our lives are going and how we should work on them.

These feelings cause us to think and re-evaluate our lives for the better.

Besides whatever you resist will persist, whenever you fight it, it will become stronger.

So what you should do is just let it be , listen to it , take notes and allow it to go.

When the lesson is done, the teacher will leave the classroom.

Its okay to feel sad , doesnt mean there is something wrong with you however it's not okay to stay that way, when that message comes , listen to it and then do what you know you have to do to feel better.

For example when you harm someone, you feel sad but the way you would help yourself in this case , is to apologise ..There is always an action you can do to get yourself on track.

If you are sad, that is better for you than to laugh all the time.

We learn more about ourselves when we are sad.(Ecclesiastes 7:3) its from those sad times that we learn about ourselves, what you are made of, its like a litmus test for your soul.

The kind of sorrow God wants makes people decide to change their lives. This leads them to salvation, and we cannot be sorry for that. But the kind of sorrow the world has will bring death.

2 Corinthians 7:10 ERV

If you fail under pressure, your strength is too small.

Proverbs 24:10 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/pro.24.10.NLT

The heart of the wise [learns when it] is in the house of mourning, But the heart of fools is [senseless] in the house of pleasure.

Ecclesiastes 7:4 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/ecc.7.4.AMP

Learning from sadness is more important than having fun... Be sad for a while so that you can be stronger the next time , the problem comes around.

It is better to listen to the rebuke of the wise man and pursue wisdom Than for one to listen to the song of fools and pursue stupidity.

Ecclesiastes 7:5 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/ecc.7.5.AMP

In times of distress, we tend to look for those who tell us what we want to hear not what we need to hear.

Seek people who really think through matters and so will tell you what you need.

Wrapping this up, Negative emotions are helpful in making us rethink our life paths, they show us where we are , they provide us with motivation to keep working eg You don't like seeing your mom in a certain situation , let's say poverty and so you work hard to elevate her, another case could be your body, you dont like how it looks so you make yourself work out to look better.

These negative emotions help us stay human and humble , they are part of being alive.

Im going to close on this one, if you love , you run the risk of getting hurt , but you also have a opportunity of a great , true connection.

Being hurt doesn't mean you are weak or abnormal it only means you are human and this person meant something to you so don't punish yourself, give yourself peace ❤ with time, your heart will heal and be whole again.

Shalom
