You're going to. In touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley,

reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Next on in touch, the positive power of love.

Every emotion that you and I experience in this life, somewhere in the Bible you're going to

find someone there who experienced the same kind of emotions. Sometimes it was hatred, sometimes it was love. It just

went from one gamut to the other. So all through the scriptures you're going to

find people experiencing all kinds of emotions. Somewhere along the way God has intended

that you and I would understand that the emotion that he has for us that supersedes

all the rest of them, the thing that probably most of us have the most difficult

believing is that God really and truly loves us. Now sometimes we can know it in our mind

but the truth is can we sense it in our emotions, can we feel God's love?

Oftentimes we have difficulty loving other people.

We say some people are very lovable, some folks are not so lovable.

And so we ask the question, well, how can I love people who are unlovable and what is my responsibility?

Might I treat everybody alike?

And so we have all kinds of emotions that we come up with

and our own feelings thought of the people. Well when I think about the emotions

that probably diminish people's witness and hinder them the most like anger and bitterness and

unforgiveness and hostility and all the rest. Then you turn around and look at all

those that are so happy and joyful and those emotions that give us a sense

of real living and a sense of real joy and contentment and peace and happiness in life. You and I could just run the gamut of all those emotions.

The most powerful positive emotion a person can experience is the emotion of love.
