The other day I had a singularly unique experience. I got one of “those” emails at work, you know the kind I mean, you read them and something on the inside of you rises up. You click “Reply” and get ready to let that other person have it. And when I did, I “saw” something.

I “saw” Satan standing in front of me with a large net. And he was laughing. And waiting, waiting for me to make a mistake. I had been baited to get out of love, to strike out in anger at that other person. And Satan knew that when I did, I was entering his territory, and he had me. I had almost taken the bait.

I had been asking God to let me see the spiritual world as clearly as I see the natural world, and I certainly got a clear picture that day. I knew what I had to do, and I did it immediately. I turned off that emotion called anger, and I responded with kindness and understanding toward that person.

That trap didn’t work. I’ll be on the lookout for the next one because as long as I live in this world, I know they’ll keep coming.
