I do not understand the concept of time yet and the fact that time is a created thing - I hope that God opens my mind to understand this soon (I have been thinking about it for a long time and waiting for the complete revelation and I know that it can only come by revelation.), but I do know that emotions are an important part of life, something that we cannot ignore. I do not follow my emotions, actually my emotions follow me, but I do not deny that I have emotions either. God doesn't deny that he has emotions either, in other words he does not separate himself from his own emotions, as the bible clearly shows:
"The Lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain ." - Gen. 6:5,6
"When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled . 'Where have you laid him?' he asked. 'Come and see, Lord,' they replied. Jesus wept ." - John 11:33-35
"As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it..." - Luke 19:41
"Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, I am thirsty ." - John 19:28
"An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish , he prayed more earnestly , and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground." - Luke 22:43,44
"...and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 'My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death ,' he said to them." - Mark 14:33,34
"I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer ." - Luke 22:15
"On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world..." - Luke 21:25,26
"How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!" ...For then there will be great distress , unequaled form the beginning of the world until now - and never to be equaled again." - Matt. 24:19,21
"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains ." - Mark 13:8
