Your emotions will gradually begin to react
because you have chosen to act the way that safe people act. You can never get
complete control over your emotions. True, you can exercise some control over
them, but never total control. It is humanly impossible to do so.
God has created us to be unable to control
our emotions. As a saved person, you can control your mind and your will, but
not your feelings. God's plan is for us to believe Him and choose to submit
ourselves to His loving care and authority regardless of how we feel.
Human beings often cannot understand the
peace of which Christ speaks, because the only peace they typically comprehend
is a feeling. They want to feel peaceful. They will say that they have great
peace of mind, but they don't. It's just that they feel good, so they set their
minds on how good they feel. Let adverse circumstances arise, and they'll say
they've lost their peace of mind. However, they never had peace of mind in the
first place.
It's simply that their emotions have topped
the scale, and now they're keeping their minds set on how bad they feel. It was
feel peace instead of mind peace all the time.
