Why are emotions such a surprise? It’s as if they’re someone we’ve never met—a person we’ve heard about but haven’t been introduced to. Then when they emerge in fighting spirit, we’re unable to identify them, much less control them. It’s a lot like Yah. You may know who He is and things He’s said and done. But if you’ve never personally met Him, talked to Him, and heard His voice, He’s a stranger. Unpredictable. At times terrifying. It only makes sense that He chooses to take up residence deep within us, in our hearts. Our emotional home. A place we as men tend to avoid.
