Some people think you should ignore your emotional system. I think you must learn it and bring it into harmony with your spiritual system.

If you agree with this line of thinking, your mission is to love Jesus and run a healthy emotional system. That is your growth challenge.

What are the deepest, most basic, questions that rise out of your soul? First, you must identify your questions. Second, you must answer the questions.

Here are some of the questions.

• Am I good enough?
• Am I lovable?
• What if I carry past failings?
• Does anyone really want me?
• Does anyone love me?
• Can I trust and receive love?

These questions will haunt you until they’re answered. You started asking them as a child, but as an adult you are still waiting for an answer. Today’s post won’t answer these questions because there are no simple ways to answer them. To answer, you must wrestle with yourself, your past, present day issues, and with God.

Finally, you now know some of the questions that rise up from deep in your emotional self. Use all your resources, including reflection, prayer, seeking wise counsel, etc. to find answers.

Prayer

Father, you made me. You know and love me. Please help me answer these difficult questions. They create restlessness within me. Father, I want my spiritual system and emotional system to run in harmony. I’m claiming your promises of peace rest and joy. Jesus and Holy Spirit please lead me. Amen.
