Don't Get Upset, Choose God's Love

 

We’ve all been in situations where we’ve felt like getting emotional or angry. But as children of God, we need to remember Philippians 2:5 NLT, which says, “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.” This means we should follow Jesus’ example and learn to keep our emotions in check.

Here’s a great example of controlling your emotions: one time, my mom was at the store. She’d put her items in a basket because she noticed the conveyor belt was pretty dirty. But when she was checking out, the worker dumped everything from the basket onto the conveyor belt. Instead of getting upset, my mom chose to embrace the peace that God gives us. This shows that in situations like this, it’s always better to choose God's love and keep our emotions under control.
