We've all been here.

You want progression right? Well, here it is. You've come a long way ever since we met. You're able to be more happy and hyper now even there are bad days. You're more honest about you're problems and you're able to help those around you. I wouldn't have been able to reach to all the way here if it weren't for you, but enough about me let's talk about you. As someone who struggled with mental problems an unable to to open up about to someone who now is recovering after these 3 painful years. 

Just because others went through worst dosen't mean you didn't feel pain. All that pain you felt and went through isn't for nothing. You have grown so much through the years. I'll keep it short and simple for you.

There is all this confusion in people about their emotions. When is it okay to show them? Are some emotions good and others bad? What does it mean to be led by the Spirit and not driven by our emotions?

Here is my take of these questions. First, I believe all emotions come from God. Therefore, the emotion itself is neither good or bad; it is how we choose to express the emotion that can be good or bad. If I am angry at someone and ask them to talk it through with me, that would be a good way to handle my anger. On the other hand, if I just start hitting the person, that would be a bad way to handle it. I think the Holy Spirit is there, ready and waiting to help us handle our emotions in a way that honors God. He is right there and ready to jump in. We just have to ask Him.
