You take account and put my tears in Your bottle, are they not in Your book. psalm 56:8
One thing I've realized in the last few months is that, as women, we are somewhat afraid and at times even ashamed of our emotions. Whether its a dad that told us that we were "too emotional" or a boyfriend or our mom it wounded us write down to the core. It did for me anyways. I literally for years have been chocking on my emotions. I noticed it in church a few weeks ago when I wanted to cry but would not let myself be THAT emotional and my throat started throbbing like "I need to get this out." Or when I'm with my husband and feel this deep need to cry but something in my head says "you're just way too emotional" I'm sure each of you has had the same experience. You want to cry but you just can't or maybe you're so hardened to emotions you don't even know what crying feels like anymore because it happens so rarely.
I'm starting to slowly learn that "you're too emotional" is simply a lie straight from the pit of hell. Yes, there are times when our emotions can lead us to sins like self-pity or hatred or bitterness. However, emotions in general are not a bad thing. When I think about it I'm not sure what it even means when someone says "you're too emotional". I certainly think that if anyone is telling you that, they're probably scared of emotions in general or just don't want to "deal" with yours.
So lets rebuke that lie in Jesus' name. Because I can tell you the Lord would never say that you are too emotional. He says the opposite: He tells us that He puts our tears in His bottle and He takes account of them in His book.(psalm 56:8) He tells us that He weeps with us and when Jesus walked the earth I can guarantee He was FULL of emotions and it was a beautiful thing. As women we were made to reflect the heart of God in such a unique way and that includes full ranges of emotions. Don't let the enemy tell you anything else. Rejoice in your emotions and bring each one of them to the Father of Lights and let them be sanctified in His Truth and Love for you.
