EXTREME EMOTIONS

Dear One,
     Life never has to be mundane and boring. 
     Life doesn't have to be chaotic and dramatic.
     Neither of those extremes comes from Me.
     You are in charge of what you allow to be involved in your life because I said that you would be in charge of the earth, that you would have dominion over it with My guidance.
     You can become uninvolved and nonparticipating in the exciting events that are going on around you or you can become over involved in the exciting events that are going on around you.  You will be tempted by both extremes.
      My desire is that you are balanced in your work, your family and your social activities so that you will be balanced in your emotions.  Overloading is what causes stress in your life.  Depression can come from under involvement in life.
      Life is motion, always changing motion, interactions with events in life that are also moving and changing and exciting.   It can be enriching or it can be overpowering, depending upon what choices you make for your involvement.
      Some people choose over involvement in civic and social affairs so that they won't have to be involved with their children.  In those instances they give the guidance of their children over to others whom they don't know for sure will be good examples.  The parents become extended members of the family in those instances rather than close members of family.  The over involvement of the parents in outside affairs causes them to be uninvolved with their children.
       Some parents choose to be over involved with their children, fearing that without the constant guidance of the parents that the children will fail.   The over iinvolvement of the parents cripples their children in many areas out of fear. The children need to learn to reject evil and choose good themselves, not rely upon their parents all of their lives to do that for them.  Overprotective parents rob their children of social skills and growing in favor with people and with Me.  Jesus grew in grace and in favor with other men and with Me.  His earthly parents allowed Him to learn to discern the difference between good and evil.
       So you must have the wisdom to know the level of involvement that is good for you.  What is good for one person might not be good for another person.  I have that wisdom.  Come to Me and I will be your umpire, either your go-ahead or your stoplight relating to every issue of involvement that beckons.
       Participating in the right amount of meaningful activities make your life enjoyable in your days on the earth.  I can be your guide, your shepherd in the matters of involvement. I want you fulfilled and happy, not overburdened or depressed.
      Love, God
