Learn to Control Your Emotions for Peace and Joy
We should take time to enjoy things - the beauties of God’s creation,
but avoid undue excitement, restlessness and sudden emotions, which
burn up the nervous system. Never say unkind words, gossip or talk
against others. Be busy reforming yourself, practice kind speech. It is
better to remain quiet until our temper has cooled down. Avoid being
stubborn. Never let anyone rob you of your peace, and do not steal
away the peace of others by your words or actions.
So, to be caught up in fear, anger, greed, or any impulsive emotions is
The heart requires true love, friendship, and above all, peace. When
to forget God. When tempted, pray to God and cling to Him alone. In
through the emotions, peace is destroyed, it is desecration of the bodi- God alone one finds fulfillment of all desires. In God alone one finds
ly temple. “Do you not know that you are God’s temple, and that
ever new joy.

God’s Spirit abides within you?” (1 Cor.3/16). Cast off fear. What is
there to be afraid of? Even a bit of fear has an effect on the nervous

troubles here on earth, and then provide us with a fresh start in His
Kingdom.
