Emotions or Reason?

Our emotions get in the way or our reason. I find myself "emoting" sometimes when it is not necessary. During those times I pray and read the Word until the emotion leaves and the reason returns.

When reason returns I am reminded how much Christ suffered for me and that I too would suffer because of my love for Him.

Because He suffered my sins have been no longer accounted to me, and with that comes many forms of persecution.

Isaiah 1:18
"18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

John 15:18
"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you."

Matthew 10:22
"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved."
