"Any emotion, when it is sincere, is involuntary."
- Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
I met using a guy once who felt men could never discover more about their emotions from women. I immediately considered that was crazy. It's primarily because emotions do not have anything to do with gender. Emotions are only concerned with authenticity. Wherever we could trust ourselves to some situation you can be emotionally present and demonstrate emotional intelligence.
In dealing with the breakdown of my first marriage, I accustomed to think I was making contact with my feminine side. It wasn't that whatsoever. I was simply broken sufficiently enough that my defences were to the point where authenticity was all I had left.
And thankfully that sense for authenticity stuck.
When you're broken, every single day, week after week, when you've will no longer got a defence, nevertheless, you have a faith, and knowning that some sense for hope, even when it's scant, you have used to being real. Being inauthentic is no more attractive. Being emotionally false gains you nothing. You wear your feelings externally. Courage becomes you. You're not frightened of tear stains down your cheeks. You're not delay by a quivering chin and tear-glazed eyes. Appearing 'weak' is not a deterrent. And you be aware of the concepts called in the Bible because they come alive within you. Then you realise this is why Jesus heals us.
***
Emotion and authenticity are inseparable. If we're authentic we're peaceful with our emotions, and no more in concern about them to suppress them, which often can only cause harm.
Being authentic would be the journey by which we're to get emotional mastery. Just because we have now command over our emotions doesn't suggest we need to get 'emotional'.
***
To be true, actually, being authentic, is always to allow the safe expression in our emotion.
Trust our emotions so we trust God to heal us internally.
And yet, we have to understand trust is undoubtedly an ongoing journey.
