What would humans be like if we never became emotional, if we were capable of controlling emotions at all times?
Perhaps we would be like Mr. Spock on Star Trek, as his responses to all situations seem to be purely logical, never emotional.
But God created us in His image, and God’s emotions are revealed in the Scriptures; therefore, God created us emotional beings.
We feel love, joy, happiness, guilt, anger, disappointment, fear, etc.
Sometimes our emotions are pleasant to experience and sometimes not.
Sometimes our emotions are grounded in truth, and sometimes they are “false” in that they are based upon false premises.
When we falsely believe that God is not in control of the circumstances of our lives, we may experience the emotions of fear or despair or anger based on that false belief.
Regardless, emotions are powerful and real to the one feeling them.
And emotions can be helpful indicators of what is going on in our hearts.
We are not emotionless robots!
God made us body, soul and spirit to love God and seek His ways.
Satan often attacks Christians through our emotions.
We can be thinking with correct beliefs, yet still fall victim to evil through feelings that tempt us to sin: lust, anger, fear, jealousy, discouragement, etc.

Sometimes we discount the importance of paying attention to our emotions day by day, thinking that the right convictions should be enough to strengthen us against evil.
Yet, when attacks come into our lives, they often enter by way of our emotions.
Suffering gives rise to inner distress, on account of a sense of injustice, frustration, loss or anger.
Christ himself provides an example of such suffering to believers.

I The Causes of Emotional Suffering
A Sense of Injustice
James Richardson is healing, but it's a long, long process.T
The 77-year-old Florida man recently returned to his hometown of Arcadia, where in 1967 he was wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for the poisoning deaths of his seven children.
He spent 21 years locked up for the heinous crime -- his children died from lunches laced with pesticide -- after being framed by authorities and alleged by prosecutors to have killed his young for insurance money.
Years later, the woman who had been babysitting Richardson's children while he and his wife were away working confessed to the crime, so Richardson was freed from prison.

It was a busy morning at the clinic, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.
He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.
I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him.
I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.
On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
I inquired as to her health.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.
He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in three years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, “And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?”
He smiled as he patted my hand and said:
“She doesn't know me,
but I still know who she is."
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought -

Jesus Christ’s suffering
A preacher of the early 1900s said that when he was 12 years old he had killed one of the family geese by throwing a stone and hitting it squarely on the head.
Figuring his parents wouldn’t notice that one of the 24 birds was missing, he buried the dead fowl.
But that evening his sister called him aside and said, “I saw what you did.
If you don’t offer to do the dishes tonight, I’ll tell Mother.”
The next morning she gave him the same warning.
All that day and the next the frightened boy felt bound to do the dishes.
The following morning, however, he surprised his sister by telling her it was her turn.
When she quietly reminded him of what she could do, he replied, “I’ve already told Mother, and she has forgiven me.
Now you do the dishes.
I’m free again!”
Some never get to this point of forgiveness

II God’s response to the emotional suffering of believers
He comforts them
In the midst of the awesomeness, a touch comes, and you know it is the right hand of Jesus Christ.
You know it is not the hand of restraint, correction, nor chastisement, but the right hand of the Everlasting Father.
Whenever His hand is laid upon you, it gives inexpressible peace and comfort, and the sense that “underneath are the everlasting arms,”
