to live well, we need to know how to balance our emotions
“Do not disturb your heart. Believe in God, believe also in me “(John 14: 1a). The joy of the soul, the joy of the heart, is the life of the human being. We all want to live to the fullest. And what good that we want! For this we also need to know how to control our emotions.
We let ourselves get too involved with emotions, Worrying is “pre-occupy” (in Portuguese:preocupar-se) something “that is, suffering ahead of time.” God does not want our heart sick.
We must concentrate our forces and emotions for the time when we need to use them, as the snake that focuses and at the right time, lunges. Of course you do not want to be a snake, but like one, using your strength and intelligence at the right time and in the situation that really merits it.
