Your Emotional Health

Are you emotionally healthy? Because I grew up in a very unstable, angry atmosphere and was abused by my father for years, I became a miserable, angry, controlling adult and didn’t know how to have healthy relationships. And until I learned how to grow in my relationship with Christ, I was a mess in my soul—my mind, my will, and my emotions.

Many people have wounds in their soul because of things that have happened to them. They’ve been abused or mistreated, and it’s caused them to get stuck in self-pity, to have an out-of-control temper or a constant sense of insecurity, and so on.

When we have unhealthy emotions, and the bad behavior that comes as a result of it, we have to get planted deep in the knowledge that God loves us unconditionally and know that while He may not love everything we do, He always loves us. The truth is: You are loved and you are valuable to God!
