Your emotions tend to revile your true self and beliefs...
 Emotions are part of God's miracle plan; which help us live a more balanced existence!

 Emotions are much like the nerves in that they are indicators which are used to get attention for possible dangers or harm...  Where so many tend to get sideways is they allow their emotions to control them in stead of just taking note and then determining what or how to react to it...   Emotions are simply alarms to help correct your life...
i.e. The use of self control and proper balance in the life!


  Self-control does not equal a control of others.

This misconception surfaces in many of the teachings on such as human modesty.  Such as the conjunction of treating the body as a bad thing.
Has it been taught that we don't just influence others but actually must micromanage their reactions to us?

The boundary of personal responsibility, that is understood to exist in other situations, is too often blurred when it comes to especially what women wear.

***  I think this boils down to our fear of things such things are beyond our control.

- We want so desperately to believe that if we just wear and say and do the right thing (even teach our children to do the same), we'll be safe, respected, and well thought of.
Yet the truth is generally that even if we were above reproach, we still wouldn't have insurance against  Someone Else's harmful thought patterns or behavior.  Some people just do not care...

{You can notice of all madness that goes on in the world almost every day!} 

Make no mistake, we are responsible to one another to be honorable in all ways.  This is the way of God's Laws and principles; But it does not entail our being responsible for each others behavior.  So do not let your emotions to get the best of your day to day life -- you do not really need the Drama!

(If this dichotomy is puzzling, I recommend reading Boundaries.)

 

Boundaries [Paperback]

 One of the first things that one must do is to realize that there are many things beyond the realm or ability of humans...  Then seek that which is beyond the realm of mortals!
This is where we seek and find God directed miracles!

If you are not aware of such actions - then read further and learn of the unlimited possibilities {not the halter-skelter stuff of movies and TV}...

There are many reasons people find it difficult to believe the Real God directed miracles today...  See John 4:48  Miracles are given to show the power of God!

 Jesus Heals the Official's Son

…47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
