We all have a choice to remain rooted and grounded in our responding… When we get that text that starts our day off wrong; when we get that call that totally ticks us off; when we get that email that grates our last nerve; we have a choice to REACT or we can choose how to RESPOND to a situation. Reaction is an emotional decision often commanded by our emotions or exhaustion. Responding is a thought out reply, emotions aside, leading with logic , love, and solutions. Often times what you are going through is simply a test to see how you will remain rooted in your responding–and is a refining trial for you. It may not even have anything to do with the situation at hand. How we treat people can have a great impact on the degree in which we are blessed in our lives. We can’t be rude and inconsiderate and expect to be treated right by others and live in victory. Next time you get that text, email, or call–let it sit for a day or two. Wait for the emotions to die down, and the exhaustion to subside. Choose wisely how you respond. It may be the process that has been chosen to change YOU!
