Tending to Your Heart God’s Way
If you have been listening to our past episodes on emotionally immature people and how they impact your life, you might think, where is a good place to start to heal?
The roadmap to recovery begins by trading the pushing down of heavy emotions, for processing those emotions with God. The problem is, if you have been with an emotionally immature person, you have neglected your feelings to manage theirs for so long —
-you don’t even know where to begin
-it’s a challenge to find words to describe your emotions
-your heart might feel numb
-you don’t trust your feelings at all
And you might even say, didn’t the Bible tell me my feelings could not be trusted? The truth is all your feelings, including anger, are like an engine light to your soul, calling you to come to the Father and find the truth so you can gain traction to move on. If you don’t believe me, open up the Bible to the book of Psalms or Jeremiah, and you’ll see God’s saints pouring their hearts out to God, not hiding how they feel.
And when you bring your emotions to God instead of burying them…
-you begin to awaken your heart
-you can communicate your needs more effectively with others and God
-you can respond vs. react to the demands of others, so that you can live with God at the center
Pausing to process with God is what Dr. Holly Spotts calls checking-in vs checking out. In today’s message, Dr. Holly Spotts is going to give us a step-by-step guide to check-in with God, find truth and live treasured.
It’s time to tell your heart to beat again. Listen to today’s message and begin your journey.
