If you are alive and have had any interaction with other people, chances are you have gotten offended either by something they said or did, but do you know that offences do not come from what others do but by how we respond to what they did or say.
Have you noticed that we don’t get offended by things only a person? Why? let’s look at what Jesus said about it.
Luke 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, it is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
Luke17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
Luke 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Brothers and Sisters, it is better to settle in our minds and hearts that offences are coming but we don’t need to be offended we can choose to allow Jesus to be our advocate between us and our offender or the offence and forgive.
Even if the offender does not say “I am sorry for offending you ” let us not allow the same millstone to hang around our necks and weigh us down.
OFFENCE IS EXPENSE!
Forgive Today and Be Free
