📖 "A fool vents all his emotions, but a wise person calmly restrains them." -Proverbs 29:11 Evangelical Heritage Version
Sometimes we can allow our emotions to get the best of us. Sometimes, we may want to tell everyone what we have been through and how we feel about it. We want people to feel what we feel, but that is not always a good thing. In the book of James, we are told to be quick to hear and slow to speak (James 1:19). We must be disciplined with our tongues. We cannot allow ourselves to get angry to the point where we fly off the handle and say things we will regret later. We must be willing to stay quiet until we are ready to speak, and when we are not speaking from a place of anger. We must not allow our emotions to rule us. We must allow our spirit man to dominate us. He is to be in control, especially if our spirit man has been born again. Jesus was always in control of His emotions, and as we continue to mature spiritually, we can do the same thing.
