New & Old Treasure. Julie Teariki-Tautea
is no shortcut to long-suffering but draw that positive strength and energy to put complete trust first of all within yourself the creator, who knows that you can handle your sufferings and most of all imitate the example of Jesus suffering and his love, kindness and obedient to the point of death.
Jesus said just believe the LORD; for strength and your abilities to cooperate and distinguish what is bad and have good thoughts for your mind and bear with all the goodness and godly wisdom to work through life into positive human efforts, GOD is our strength and our savior to bear with the fruit of his Holy Spirit in us through his power.
Further reading from Jesus' words saying: Most truly I say to you, you will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice; you will be grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy. When a woman is giving birth, she has grief because her hour has come, but when she has given birth to the child, she remembers the tribulation no more because of the joy that a man has been born into the world. So, you also, now you have grief; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. On that day you will ask me no question at all. Most truly I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will give it to you in my name. Until now you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. John. 16. 20-24.
Negative Emotion:
How do we deal with experiences of hatred, sadness, fear, rage, or jealousy? And what do we wish to have done differently? We can look at the Bible's perspective views of some of the emotions faced by God’s people, for example, A negative emotion reading from, 2. Samuel. 13.
Firstly “Ammon” is an emotional extreme with an uncontrolled passion of love turned into hatred, hate with intense hatred. Tamar said: How could I live down my shame? And you will be regarded as one of the disgraceful men in Israel. Now speak, please, to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.” But he refused to listen to her, and he overpowered her and humiliated her by raping her.
Secondly “Tamar” was truly the victim of a woman who suffered rape and abuse. She has low self-esteem; she was angry and bitter, humiliated, and used.
Thirdly “David” experienced anger and grief over these events. Finally, “Absalom” did not offer much relief, instead, his rage of anger devised a plan to killing “Ammon” to avenge his sister’s rape, and so he would have his chances of sitting on the throne of Israel.
We may face many bad experiences to do with negative emotions in life such as hatred, sadness, fear, rage, or jealousy. In Tamar’s case sometimes, a negative impact of emotion will have its consequences of negative reaction.
Positive Emotion:
Praise to our loving father for all positive and emotional strength in his spirit. It is truly a gift given and deposited into each and everyone in our lifetime. Truly and honestly writing if we allow our emotion to take control of whatever it is that we believe that it will work then it will be. If I put all my faith and trust in God to be in control to help and lead and guide me, sure enough, he will surely do. Every human life journey we will always be dealing with every human emotion and anxiety. We are to cling to what is good and refuse things that are not good to feed on our minds, body soul, and emotion.
We need to read, pray, eat, rest, and involve in social activities and importantly to trust God for peace, love, and unity. It's a choice to be obedient to God and to do good to others in line with God’s Holy Spirit and power that he is helping us. “Based on the scripture the fruitage of God’s Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things, there is no law. Galatians, 5, 22, accordingly, as God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, clothe yourself with the tender affections of compassion, kindness, humility, mildness, and patience. Continue putting up with one another and forgiving one another freely even if anyone has a cause for complaint against another. Just as Jehovah freely forgave you, you must also do the same. But besides all these things, clothe your selves with love for it is a perfect bond of union. Colossians. 3. 12-14.
What has been your own experience with how your emotional states impact your actions? Negative emotional states, such as hatred, worry, fear, rage, and jealousy, produce immediate physiological responses: for example; the immediate reaction of talking back, punch in the face, tense muscles, cold sweet, butterflies in the stomach, terminating an unplanned pregnancy and other physical manifestations.
It is very important not to make important decisions amid a flurry of emotions, be they positive or negative. But to be on the positive emotion: On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things, there is no law. Galatians, 5, 22, where there is a positive impact in life there is no law against such action. On the other hand, a negative emotional response must deal with the law against its action. Positive psychology a newly developed and widely accepted branch of psychology, should be a mission and aim to promote it and educate the minds of many into positive thinking and action to help bring order to happiness in our society. “Continue putting up with one another and forgiving one another freely even if anyone has a cause for complaint against another.” Colossians, 3, 13, Love is more than an emotion; it is still the supreme emotion. God is love, and it is his plan for his children to experience love for others and from others.
Jesus Emotional Manifestations: (1.)
So, he summoned the disciples and said to them: “I feel pity for the crowd because they have already stayed with me for three days and they have nothing to eat. If I send them off to their homes hungry, they will give out on the road, and some of them are from far away. Mark 8. 1-3.
Compassion was the motivator that led Jesus to devise a plan for feeding the multitude. He thought of the practical needs of the people who had eaten or nothing at all for those three days. Jesus observed the crowd and had compassion for their needs in the physical and spiritual side of humans' needs to meet.
In another act of compassion “There also came to him a leper, pleading with him even on bended knee, saying to him: “If you just want to, you can make me clean.” At that, he was moved with pity and he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him: “I want to! Be made clean. Immediately leprosy vanished from him and he became clean.” Mark. 1:40-43, those days’ lepers were often treated with disdain.
Leprosy was a condition that would produce more terror then pity any human lives. Yet Jesus felt compassion for leprosy ill people, he touches them and felt pity for them, not only when people lacked the basic physical necessities but also when they were without leadership direction or aims.
He also feels their deep spiritual needs as well as physical needs, again Jesus would proceed to teach them about the kingdom of God. Even his disciples, they couldn’t deal with large followers of people they came up to him and said: This place is isolated, and the hour is already late. Send them away so that they may go off into the surrounding countryside and villages and by themselves something to eat. He replied to them: “You give them something to eat. Mark. 6. 34-36.
Later, Jesus also demonstrates another act of compassion towards a little child. “Then he took a young child and stood him in their midst; and putting his arms around him, he said to them: “Whoever receives one of such young children based on my name receives me also, and whoever receives me receives not me only but also Him who sent me.” Mark. 9: 36. Jesus emphasized physical touch. He held children in his arm and showed love and affection for them. He would reach out and touched sick and suffering people to communicate divine healing power over them. In another encounter with the rich young ruler’ Jesus love him even though the young rich man did not follow the master’s direction. “Jesus looked at him and felt love for him and said, “One thing is missing about you: Go, sell what things you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven: and come be my follower.” But he grew sad at the answer and went away grieved, for he had many possessions. Mark. 10:21-22.
Jesus Emotional Manifestations: (2) Let’s view the bible perspective of Jesus walking down the Mount of Olives and the whole multitude of people and his disciples began to rejoice’ but Jesus had
