ANCHORED IN LOVE

“You can’t help what you feel, but you can help how you behave.” ―Margaret Atwood

Emotions are part of being human. They come uninvited—waves of sadness, bursts of joy, moments of anger, sparks of fear. Sometimes they arrive with no warning at all, much like the post I read tonight from a friend who did not understand where the tears came from. And yet, as powerful as they may be, our emotions do not define who we are. They are simply indicators—signals that reveal where healing or awareness may be needed. When we feel anger, it doesn’t make us unspiritual. When we feel jealousy, it doesn’t mean we’ve failed. The real test is in what we do next. Do we react from that space, or do we pause, breathe, and choose differently? Growth happens in that sacred pause between emotion and action. Every feeling offers a choice: to lash out or to lean in, to withdraw or to open up, to judge or to love. You can’t always help what arises within you, but you have the divine power to decide how you respond. That is where your true strength—and your peace—resides.

Dear Angels, when emotions feel too strong—when pain or anger seem to take over—how can we remember to choose love in that moment?

Dear Ones, you are not your emotions; you are the awareness observing them. Imagine your feelings as waves upon the surface of an infinite ocean. The waves may be rough, but deep below, the water remains calm and still. That depth is your soul—unchanging, eternal, and filled with peace. When emotion arises, breathe into it. Do not judge it; simply allow it to pass through you like wind through an open window. Then, from the still place within, ask, “What would love have me do now?” Love will never guide you toward harm, resentment, or regret. It will guide you toward understanding, forgiveness, and peace. The more often you pause to listen to love, the more natural that response becomes.

Angels Whisper:

When emotion stirs the storm within, anchor your heart in love.

Feel fully, but act wisely.

Your peace is not lost—it is simply waiting for you beneath the waves.

Today, I promise to remember to pause before reacting or responding and keep a prayer on my lips.

Dear God,

In this moment, we surrender the storm within us to Your infinite love.

Help us to feel without fear, to release without resistance, and to respond with grace.

May Your light fill every space where anger, hurt, or confusion once lived.

Teach us to see through the eyes of compassion,

to speak with the voice of kindness,

and to act from the place of divine truth within.

We thank You for reminding us that peace is always possible,

and that love is always the way home.

And so it is and it is in the name of Jesus that I pray, Amen.
