God embedded emotions into our humanity to serve a useful purpose in our lives. Just as our minds enable us to think and our free will enable us to choose - so our emotions enable us to respond.
1. Our emotions are a gift from God
Emotions are given as signals towards what is happening on the inside.

2. Our emotions are not a gauge not a guide
God designed your emotions to be gauges, not guides. They’re meant to report to you, not dictate you. The pattern of your emotions will give you a reading on where your hope is because they are wired into what you believe and value - and how much. That’s why emotions like delight (Psalm 37:4), affection (Romans 12:10), fear (Luke 12:5), anger (Psalm 37:8), joy (Psalm 5:11), etc. are so important in the Bible. They reveal what your heart loves, trusts, and fears.
