Emotions Change, Jesus Doesn't

I'm on the rollercoaster again.  Ups and downs, highs and lows.  I feel like the closer I get to God and the more I lean on Jesus, the higher the highs and the lower the lows.  There are a few differences in the highs and lows when you are growing with God.  The highs and lows don't last as long.  They are somewhat fleeting the realm of life, maybe one to two days.  You aren't caught up in the emotions themselves.  You are able to recognize that it is simply that, an emotion, a feeling, something that changes and will change.  You are able to identify and somewhat compartmentalize those emotions to a specific situation and they don't bleed over into other areas.  You are able to call out Satan when he tries to get you to put them in the wrong place and take you farther down.  Why is this?  I believe it is because when you walk with the Spirit and you know to your core that Jesus is with you all the way, you recognize that He is the one thing that will not change.  He is steadfast.  Our family has said, "You cannot steal our joy."  That's what that's about.  You cannot take Jesus from someone.  You cannot take the peace that God provides.  You cannot lose the love that is in Christ.  Life is full of ups and downs, highs and lows, but one thing remains the same...Jesus.  Let Him make the rough places a plain.
