It is so important to have a strategy about how to handle offense in our lives before we are…..offended!
Proverbs 4:23 says: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Offense, bitterness, and unforgiveness can grow like weeds and if we don’t regularly tend to the garden of our heart and get rid of these weeds, the fruit of our hearts will suffocate, wither and eventually die.
The spirit of offense is what causes the division between people. It can destroy friendships, break up marriages, and split churches.
If we want to claim that we are spirit-filled believers…we should be so aware not to give in to the spirit of offense!
