Emotions. We all have them.
One simple definition is: a strong mental or instinctive feeling. As we all know, our feelings or emotions sometimes get the best of us and effect our actions either for good or not so good. Case and point is the coach of a local professional hockey team, who in a recent game, displayed emotions out of control.
When things like this happen, it is an example of a lack of self-control, self-discipline and poor self-restraint in the face of opposition or pressures. It was emotions getting the best of him.
If we do not learn to control our emotions when under pressure or when we don’t get our way, then they can launch us into doing things or saying things that we will regret, hurting ourselves and others.
Titus 2:11,12 offers us insight into God’s provision to help us be good examples through our actions. God’s grace will teach us and help us to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives.

Thank you Pastor Roy. An illustration comes to mind:
“There are 4 things that you cannot recover:
The stone… after the throw
The word… after it’s said
The occasion… after the loss
The time… after it’s gone”
