Emotions are life's color.
without emotions life wouldn't look anything like it does. Without emotion why should we have children? without emotion why should we get married? without emotion why should we create?
The Western culture is a culture of logic. But logic on it's own is robotic and lifeless.
God is emotional God is love Love is emotional. We must have love in order to have life.
To cut emotion out of politics, out of science, out of learning, out of relationships, out of the workplace is to cut life out of living.
If our lives are our canvases with which we express ourselves then our body is the brush and our emotions are the colors we use to paint.
Emotions aren't weak.
It takes strength and courage to express and display exactly how you feel.
hiding emotions is weak.
Any coward can "suck it up" and show no feeling, no emotion, no life.
To really live is to really feel life. Emotions are our sensors for life. It is how we truly come to life.
Jesus is VERY emotional. I would argue none of his decisions or actions came from a place void of emotion.
The Christian, the follower of Christ, isn't called to control emotions and become a robot of dutiful obedience.
Rather the Christian is called to die to himself in order to feel the emotions of both God and neighbor. He is called to action during injustice. Flip tables, rebuke satan, yell at the oppressors, weep at the loss of a friend, and celebrate at the feast of a wedding. These are the acts of Jesus my savior my king. He isn't calling us to death but rather to life and life in the fullest.
Though to the world death to myself may seem suicidal it is the only way to truly live.
Jesus doesn't want us to spend our lives worrying about what we will eat, or wear, or any comforts of this world. He would rather we spend out time worrying about the poor, the widows, the orphans. He would rather we spend out time in seasons of love.
If we do not show emotion in our offerings then it is as worthless as no offering at all. We must have emotion in it for God to receive any of our expressions. It is entirely about the heart and the hand working as one being. All of our heart, soul, strength, and mind.

I want you to show love,
not offer sacrifices.
I want you to know me
more than I want burnt offerings.
