You choose whether to hoard your pain and offenses or to make room for God to express his grace and truth.
You choose whether to rehearse what’s gone wrong and could go wrong or to practice thankfulness for the good things in your life and the blessings you’ve experienced. You choose whether the judgments and fears of others will determine how you see yourself or if you’ll instead believe who God is saying you are and who he wants to be for you and through you.
Offended
Don Tuggle
Stay in the word of God and stay focused on His love for us. The greatest trap of the enemy is to throw flaming darts of offense, and it is always partnered with hurt and betrayal from family and close friends. No matter your circumstance, choose the promises of God over your situation every time. Don’t get distracted by the evil occurring all around us, stand, fear not because God has not and will not abandon us.
A W Tozer
The heart’s fierce effort to protect itself from every slight, to shield its touchy honor from the bad opinion of friend and enemy, will never let the mind have rest.
Bobby Connor
God will offend our minds to expose how calloused our hearts have become.
