The 24 Hour Rule

I’m sure you’ve had the experience of receiving an email at work that sent your blood pressure through the roof in 5 seconds or less. Right?

Yesterday I had to enact my 24 hour rule….and I prayed for guidance. I didn’t want to retaliate and fight but I was upset!! My mind went to Romans. In Romans God tells us that LOVE is the most important of his laws….to LOVE your enemy!! It really says that!! (Romans 12 & 13).

Today my morning Bible verse was God’s gentle yet powerful reminder to me of this message. As I walk in to my office I’m going in with the right mind set to address this email through love and truth; not anger. Thank you Lord!
