Satisfaction — What does it mean for us to have control over our feelings? Human beings often seek self-control through either attempting to limit or relieve the physical responses of their body (through drugs, exercise, etc.), or through repressing and ignoring their feelings. But these are actually just attempts to satisfy (or repress) our natural physical responses, which by itself, is temporary and ultimately futile (disappointing). The more fulfilling and lasting solution is for our soul to be satisfied and directed by a growing intimacy with God.
In this coaching exercise we will explore some thoughts related to how a Christian might pursue dealing with their feelings from a Kingdom perspective. |
