Many adults who are mature physically and intellectually are not mature emotionally. God has blessed us with the capacity for a wide range of emotions, but He intends for our minds to control and rule over our emotions and feelings. People who are highly intelligent (who have high IQ’s) often are not as successful as people who less intelligent but who have high “emotional intelligence” (high EQ’s). Emotional maturity goes hand in hand with spiritual maturity and the Bible has many scriptures on this subject.
