And from this we have sad emotions of missing them, then happy emotions of knowing they have gone to be with God. As we go through this life we have things happen that cause us also to have different feelings about many different things. These different feelings are called emotions. I checked in Webster's dictionary, this is what he says about Emotions strong feelings any specific feeling such as love, hate, fear, anger and so on. More than anything else they reflect our attitudes and behavior.
Emotions often express outwardly our innermost beliefs.
For instance, if we believe in God's sovereignty and ultimate control, we exchange fear and worry for peace and contentment. God makes Himself known to us not only in truth and by decree but in the way He reveals His heart. We, too who are made in His image not only think and choose, we feel. Our personalities are interwoven with an intricate mix of mind, will, and emotions. To be able to experience pain or joy, sadness or anger is to feel alive.
