Scripture and words from the LORD about offenses ...

February 5, 2014. Satan baited you with an offense and you bit and were hooked. This will grow larger and gain strength as you stroke it with your mind. It will cause you big time stress and unhappiness. Don't be easily offended. I know you don't want to be. This is not you. It is not who I have made you to be. Let offenses roll off you like water rolls off oil. You are anointed with the oil of gladness. Forgive the one who has offended you. The hurt is not intentional.

Matthew 24:10 (NKJV) "And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another." Bev Robinson 

 

February 5, 2014. You love those who make you feel good. You often require others to be responsible for your offenses. You teach them over time just how to keep you happy, with no offenses. The problem is that your happy balloon gets popped all too often. Consider this. Instead, tune your moods and attitudes to the Holy Spirit, not your fleshly weaknesses. Let Him give you a self-image reflecting Jesus. Take on the toughness of the One who hung on the cross for your offenses, for your happiness. Honor His sacrifice for you.

Matthew 5:43-46 (NASB) "You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?" Ras Robinson
