mirrors of the heart”Daniel Caballero
(Nov 2013)
What is an emotion(feeling)?
A temporary internal feeling state which is an instinctive, biological reaction to events. It creates physical sensations, habits and
behaviours in us.
What is a mood?
It is the outward behavioural response generated by the underlying emotion. It helps guide us in what is happening in our lives and
assess our future actions.

His beauty through our brokenness
‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight’. Proverbs 3:5-6
We are in a spiritual battle Do we have wants or needs? What can we do to help ourselves?
The means of grace(Galatians 5:16-18) What can we do to help others?
Speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) Point them to God’s word (Isaiah 55:11) Our love and compassion should be
practical (James 2:17)

The sneers
Pride I know better, they are wrong, I am
right
Complaining, bitterness, judging
others
Humility
The fears
No Trust /
Control
But what if….that should never
happen, I couldn’t cope
Consumed with worry, sleep problems,
restless, agitation
Trust
The tears
Loss What’s the point, I’m useless, it’s always like this
Blackness, no hope, very low
mood.
Hope
‘I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called
you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people’
Ephesians 1:18
