Offended

James 5:16 (Amplified Bible) Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].


I don’t mean to sound ugly , But get over it. Every day each of us has an opportunity to be offended at something or someone. And each of us in the natural handles our offenses differently. Some of us just don’t let offenses affect us. We have the ability to let them roll off of us like water on a duck’s back. While on the other hand some of us live them over and over and over. Do you realize that being offended at someone only hurts you? It does not affect the person who has caused the offence. The effects of a church member becoming offended many times is caused by someone simply misinterpreting what another said. Then there are those that are just looking for something to be offended at. Then there are those that are looking to offend. We must keep a guard on our tongue and weigh out every word before it leaves our mouth. Once spoken, words cannot be recaptured, and the results can be disastrous. The enemy would like nothing better then to destroy the unity of the church. If he can keep Christians bickering, fighting, and becoming offended with each other, then he has succeeded in dividing the church. He has won a victory! For the good of the body we need to bind together, not pull apart. There is power in a united effort. Look around where are we headed ?

Have A Blessed day
