It’s inevitable, offenses and hurts are a part of this life. Do we react or respond?
Jesus said, “in the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (Jn. 16:33)
It’s better to be the offendee than the offender. “It is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!” (Luke 17:1)
DAILY PRAYER: Father, help me to be sensitive to those around me, that I don’t become an offense. Give me a heart of forgiveness to those who offend me.
DAILY READING: Num. 23-26; Mark 10
