Week 7, Day 6

The Church is not for perfect people. It’s for imperfect people who are working together to become fully mature in Jesus Christ. It’s the place where we rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. So for Riley, joy and sadness come together to the emotional headquarters and join fear, anger, and disgust. Riley’s emotions keep maturing with her growing self-control.

“Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.”

Proverbs 16:32

Read Proverbs 16

As you grow a stronger emotional control center, authentic emotions will work together. Sadness and joy are blended into honest emotions. When our emotions work together, we grow in our emotional health and relational health.

-What is one way you can mature through your emotions instead of running away from them?
