emotions

Emotions overwhelm, surprise, comfort, express.
And so, just now with eyes full of moisture, I realize how thankful I am for God's creation of emotions.  I love that He gave these lovely ways for our bodies to release, remember, restore.  

There is an emotion for every circumstance, every known situation, every waiting surprise, every shock in life.

There are tears aroused when we least expect them, burning cheeks when we're embarrassed, angry, worn.  There is war, constriction in our hearts when we struggle between decisions.

There is a tireless ache that wears on me, knowing my heart aches, yearns, longs for my Savior.  It is an incredible wanting, an inexpressible desire.  So deep, so full, so rich.  The way He draws me to Himself, shows Himself, reveals Himself.  It renders my words insufficient...stops me in my tracks.

And so I weep, draining that storehouse of tears.  And my heart loves Jesus more.  I need Him so much.
