Feelings are Hard

Today has held many feelings. Emotions running rampant is a hard thing to manage. I am taking some comfort in the fact that Jesus had feelings too. He wept; he flipped tables out of anger; he begged God to let the cup pass from him and he loved his disciples. But overall today has been hard. Feelings are hard. They aren't always rational or convenient. However, they are so hard to ignore. Tears prick behind the eyes and beg to fall, how do you ignore them? Anger boils and wants to lash out, how do you real it in? Happiness bubbles but is inappropriate to express. Fear paralyzes, hope refuels, sadness consumes and the list could go on. Here is hoping to a rest filled night and a God filled tomorrow with a few less emotions.
