It’s so amazing today how the “spirit of offense” has been loosed over the airwaves…and the prince of the air is busy working in so many lives wooing them to succumb…buy the lie and “take offense” and then live life…always offended about “something”.
We are living in a “culture of offense” Media outlets no longer bring us the news…they make a living.. creating and sharing their offenses or those of others…
We’ve all been offended or hurt by the actions of others…our hearts have been wounded by words spoken…we’ve been broken over selfish and wrong behaviors aimed at us for no reason…
but God does not want us to “take offense”…He wants us to exercise grace and forgive.
Sadly many “harbor offense” and use it as an excuse for their wrong behavior in treating others badly.. We cannot fool God..He knows the very intent and motive of our heart..and in this season where the rubber meets the road.. it’s time to take stock of ourselves and allow the change..He longs to bring!
Let’s surrender and let it go…so we can grow..
