In a world filled with distractions and chaos, it can be easy to lose sight of our true selves. Are we simply emotional beings, reacting to the world around us, or are we spiritual beings, connected to something greater than ourselves?

Our emotions play a significant role in how we navigate through life. From joy and love to anger and sadness, our emotions can often dictate our actions and reactions. However, it is important to remember that emotions are fleeting and can be influenced by external factors. While it is natural to experience a range of emotions, it is crucial not to let them control us. As Christians, we are called to have self-control and to rely on our faith to guide us through challenging times. (Titus 2:12 NIV)

On the other hand, spirituality encompasses a deeper connection to something beyond ourselves. (Genesis 1:26-27 NKJV) It is about finding meaning and purpose in life and recognizing that there is a higher power at work. As Christians, we believe in the presence of God in our lives and the importance of nurturing our spiritual well-being. (2 Timothy 2:15 NKJV) By cultivating a strong relationship with God through prayer, meditation, and scripture, we can tap into our spiritual selves and find peace and fulfillment.
So, are we emotional or spiritual beings? The truth is, we are both. Our emotions serve as a window into our souls, reflecting our innermost thoughts and feelings. However, it is our spirituality that anchors us and gives us strength in times of need. By finding a balance between our emotions and spirituality, we can lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

The question of whether we are emotional or spiritual beings is not a simple one. As Christians, we are called to embrace both aspects of our being and to seek harmony between our emotions and spirituality. By acknowledging the importance of our emotions and nurturing our spiritual selves, we can live a more authentic and meaningful life. Let us strive to cultivate a deep connection with God and to allow our faith to guide us in all aspects of our lives.

I believe Romans 12:2 gives us a call to let the (saved) spiritual side and the (yielded) emotional side work toward a dramatic transformation, which will go a long way in seeing good on the physical side as well.
