MOTIVE MORE THAN EMOTION

Genesis 27:30-45

Weak impulses or bad ones, yielded to. are hard on the tear-ducts. There’s bound to be a bad emotional storm before the thing’s over. Tears are very impressive; they sway a lot of people. But one should look through the tear-mist to see what motive controls. Motive is more than emotion. If Esau had been thoughtfully right in his motives be­forehand, his emotions wouldn’t be having such a hard time now.
