In this inspiring series, “Controlling Your Emotions,” Pastor Joel Osteen teaches us how to resist the temptation to get angry or frustrated during difficult times, and see it as an opportunity to develop a godly character.  God may be doing a work in you, testing to see if you will make the right choices so that He can promote you to a new and higher level.  Exercise your self-control and allow wisdom to gain precedence over your emotions.  When you do, your life will be happier, your relationships stronger, your Christian walk will mature, and you will experience increase and abundance greater than you ever dreamed possible.
