Feeling encouraged. Yes we don't have to respond to our feelings especially the wrong feelings that lead us to regret our actions and respond later.
1 John 4:7-8, reminds us of the importance of showing love to each other,
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."
So, I must let love guide me.
Love can empower me to feel hurt without becoming a person consumed by that hurt ...
I can feel offended, but I don't have to be offended.
I can feel insecure, but I don't have to act insecure.
I can feel angry, but I don't have to respond in anger.
That's the choice love makes.
