Going Beyond Offense

It is so easy to get offended these days. Someone at work not doing what you think they should do. Someone that says something to you that is misunderstood. Being overwhelmed in your own tasks and seeing someone who is all caught up (you assume) not offering to help. Assumptions, misunderstandings and perceptions lead to most offenses today. All come from the enemy and all are set up to rob us of our blessings. We need to rise above offense and when we feel that spirit trying to rise up in us we need to tell ourselves no, no, this is not important enough to make me lose out on the blessings God has for me. The more opportunities you have to get offended, the harder the enemy is attacking, the closer you are to you blessings. So don’t let offense spoil the great things God has for you today!

Matthew 13:20-22
Matthew 11:5-7
