Putting Emotion to Work

“It is easier to feel strongly than to be strong. Yet our strong, deep feelings are well worth while—if we put them to work. We need to remember that ‘emotion is power when it is caught in the cylinder and does not escape in the whistle.’ If a sermon sends worthy emotions charging through us, it is easier to commend ourselves for this feeling than to let our whole life be permanently lifted; but we are worse off if we do nothing about it than if we had never heard the sermon. Every stirring of our right emotion is God’s call to us to become empowered for service.”
