forgiveness

Are You Offended?

Are You Offended?

We all have times when we have been desperately hurt by someone, and we find it difficult to move on.  The enemy (Satan) wants us to stay offended, and wants to cripple us with anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness.  We may find ourselves repetitively playing a recording in our minds of what someone has done to us. We convince ourselves that forgiving is just too hard, (“but you just don’t understand what they did to me!”) and we end up hurting ourselves by disobeying God.  How do we get past offenses?
