William Wilberforce on emotions

"We can barely look anywhere in the Bible without finding abundant proof that God wants us to experience a faith that includes our emotions. Love, zeal, gratitude, joy, hope, trust (each one of them mentioned in the Bible) were not given to us to make us weak; instead, we are even commanded to experience these emotions as part of our faith's duties. They are an integral part of the worship that is acceptable to God."
