Quote

Gloating is a superficial glowing, floating is an idle flowing, and bloatedness is the paralysis of blowing up because silent movement results in loud victories.

Part of God's work in his people is synchronizing the heart and the mind thus providing freedom from the deceit of emotion-based beliefs. Emotions are changing while truth is absolute.
