More than a Line

I sometimes wonder why my emotions have to change so often. I wish I didn't have to constantly go up and down. Never knowing when I wake up in the morning how I'm going to be feeling just a few hours from then can be immensely frustrating. I often wonder how I could change this, how I could keep my emotions stable and constant. But then I got to thinking, is this really what I'd want?

I realized if my emotions were constant and never varied then I couldn't feel happiness or excitement. Yeah, I wouldn't feel disappointment, sadness and pain but I think it is often from these feelings that we learn the most. And the valleys of life help us appreciate the mountaintops so much more. I want to feel - to feel everything. And I want to be able to feel it all with every bit of intensity I can. I may fall harder, faster, and lower but I will be raised up in the same way. So I must embrace my emotions and let myself feel them. As I do this I have the constant stability of God by my side to rejoice with me at the top and pull me out of the pits. How could I ever have wanted anything else?
