Romans 8:35-39

35 Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?
36 Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,
39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Bad Attitude

Having a bad attitude is a waste of effort and time. All it does is make us 
look bad, make us treat others unkindly, and hinders our called ability to help 
others. Then the question is it worth it? Our emotions should never 
dictate our actions. Understandably, it is very difficult to hide ill feelings or negative 
things that have affected us, but when we begin to allow our emotions 
to dictate and govern our actions, we become undependable, untrusting, and unstable.

When we are unstable, then we are constantly overcome with care, and are moved by everything that comes our way. If Jesus is our Lord, then he should get the glory for our stable and unwavering walk. In order for him to get the glory from our walk, we must be Spirit formed and Spirit led. But on the contrary if we allow the spirit of the enemy to govern us, then God is not glorified by our walk. This unstableness sends a clear message to the world that believers are wishy-washy folk. It is extremely imperative that sinners around us see our stableness and secureness in God. Unbelievers are already 
dealing with various life issues and desperately need to see an example of the difference that God’s Spirit makes in us.



Instability gives the enemy easy access to our lives. With the pull 
of a string we become out of sync with who we are, how we treat others, 
and how we respond to God. “There must become a reckoning in our lives so that we will allow absolutely nothing in this world be it from the past, present or future to separate us from the love of our Lord & Savior”. We must proceed through life with a made-up mind that we are not going to let our feelings create confusion and cause us to miss the true inseparable love of God. We must remind ourselves that no matter what happens, we will be like a tree, planted!! Immovable! Unshakeable!

Temperament

Within God, we can be a rock and the enemy cannot control us! There will always be bad situations that will arise in life (from time to time) and cause us to feel bad. But if we manage our emotions (through understanding our Temperament) instead of acting on them, we can get through it without hurting others or ourselves. I emphatically repeat, there is nothing that could ever happen, be done to us, or be resounded in our hearing that can separate us from the love of God!!!
