Sometimes I tend to label emotions as “bad” or want to push through and not take time to even notice what I’m feeling. In this book, Holly shares the truth that all emotions were created by and felt by Jesus. There is no bad emotion. And it’s so encouraging to have help navigating how to feel, process, and look to Jesus as my example on how to respond to/out of emotions. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s been helpful to guide me on a path toward emotional freedom - not there yet! But I’m on the path.
