I have been teaching myself to name my emotions.
To identify & categorise each of them.
for fear misidentified can morph into despair
anger into sadness
and shame into melancholy.
For when they are named I can control them.
exchanging fear for love
despair for hope,
anger for courage,
sadness for joy,
shame for Grace,
and melancholy for Christ's peace.
God gave man dominion over the creatures of the earth,
by naming them man cemmented what God declared.
Christ gave me control over my emotions
by naming them I do the same.
WORD!
