We have all been hurt by something someone did or said to us that wasn't nice. It bothers us. It can tick us off. It can hurt our pride, our ego and our feelings. We can all relate to and admit that at some points in the past...yet, are you still carrying it ?!?!
When you take OFFENSE to someone, you are lugging that around on YOUR shoulders! My advice, set the bag down!
It's called the bait of offense and when you choose to grab it and own it, it will weigh you down and it will own you! It then can turn to bitterness, revenge, grudge and hatered. Which then leads to ACID and DIS-EASE.
What is the answer? One word...FORGIVE. We are told to forgive them. How many times? seventy times seven!
Scripture says, "It is impossible that there will not be offenses." Jesus offended LOTS of people including his family, his students, the religious leaders and his close friends. If you have a strong opinion, YOU will offend others! They didn't like the Truth He was teaching so they KILLED Him!!
He taught not to defend yourself and hurt back, but to turn the other cheek and actually BLESS them. Forgive their tresspasses and apologize for any harms you have done. It is up to YOU to set the bag down and be mature enough to forgive those who disagree with and harm you.
Trust me, I deal with people every day who are still carrying odl hurts and offenses. We all do. Time to take the high road and get over it. Deal with it and move on! Love others and, in turn, love and heal yourself! God Bless You.
