Regardless of your effort to express or repress them .. Feelings are one of the most important things that we have in this world, think about it. The faith we believe & the God we serve bases everything he does (has done) on LOVE. A FEELING. Feelings are a means of cleansing & expressing them should come out of love, for self & others. Holding them in represents a lack of trust. Trust in God, trust in yourself, & trust in others. 

Freedom bought at a HIGH price.

I'm allowed to do ANYTHING. But not everything is good for you. And even though I can do anything, I must not become a slave to anything.
1Corinthians 6:12

Christ's death freed us from sin, but also obligates us to his service. Our bodies are not our own, they belong to God. "Bought with a high price".

If you live in a building owned by someone else, you try not to violate the building's rules. Well, since we belong to God, do your best not to violate his standards for living.

1Corinthians 6:19-20

" Food was made for the stomach, and the stomach for food."
1Corinthians 6:13

Just as our bodies were made for the Lord.

Hospitality

Romans 12:13
"When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality."

Hospitality differs from social entertaining. Entertaining focuses on a spotless home, well prepared abundant food, and a relaxed good natured host. Hospitality, by contrast, focuses on the guests. Their needs, whether for a place to stay, nourishing food, a listening ear or acceptance, are the primary concern. Hospitality can happen in a messy home. It can happen around a dinner table where the main dish is canned soup. It can happen while the host and the guest are doing chores together. Don't hesitate to offer hospitality just because you are too tired, too busy, or not wealthy enough to entertain.
