When understood and taken to God, emotions create an intimate relationship with God and friends like no other.
Do you understand yourself? God knows who we really are and can help us get to the root of things. We just have to be willing to let him.
The longer you do something, the easier it becomes to forget why you started doing it. This can happen to us with Christianity. If you have a seared conscience, these steps will help your heart heal.
God wants us to have friends we can be completely ourselves with, but this can only happen if we let go of control.
