What to Do with Feelings
/Recently I’ve been learning what to do with feelings. For several years I’ve taken the slogan, “How important is it?” to mean that my feelings are unimportant, irrelevant. Brush them away and move on. But now I know that feelings cannot be repressed without repercussions. Eventually, they WILL be expressed!
I’ve also learned that all feelings are right and good.
Having accepted my feelings, then I am free to decide what expression will contribute to my well being and that of others. That is the challenge.
This morning in my meditation, these words came: “Let all that you do be done in love.” (1 Corinthians 16:14)
Love for ourselves and others is the “screen” to pass our feelings through.
You write it: What do you do with feelings?
