John 11:33-35 -- On Eternal Emotion

"When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
Jesus wept."
John 11:33-35 I like this as a reminder that God is an emotional being. Not that he is a slave to them as we sometimes feel that we are, but that he cares when we are suffering, and truly knows what he is talking about when he sooths our griefs and promises us joy.

Today, let's remember that God truly cares, and understands our emotions. He may ask us to learn how to bridle them a little better and to step down the drama, but since he feels emotion, we know that emotions are part of the ideal. We need to make good decisions despite any emotions to the contrary, but God is working tirelessly to help us to eternal happiness, which, you know, is an emotion too. :)
