Which is stronger – your will or your emotions? I argue that it’s your mind that is stronger. You can reject the lusts of the body because you know in your mind (and heart!) that feelings are fleeting, and not usually good for you. Which to follow? Which will leave me better off? I our lives we need to grow in correct attitudes, blotting out the bad ones, especially bitterness. Satan believes just the opposite and so is always trying to tempt you – to have you question your purpose. This power to say no is called grace, and only God dispenses it.
