offense is the forerunner to “refusing to believe.” Offense no matter how big or small can hinder God’s blessings from flowing freely in our lives. Yet although offense has the power to prevent us from experiencing God’s blessings in our lives, there is a much greater force that paves the road to His blessings and , this godly force can enable them.

Holding onto an offense does nothing but cause trouble. If it festers into anger and bitterness, it separates family and friends who once loved and cared for each other.

God has a new heart for us that cannot be offended, an “unoffendable” heart. Beloved, possessing an unoffendable heart is not an option or a luxury; it’s not a little thing. An offended heart is in danger of becoming a “heart of stone.”

We can choose to be offended, or we can choose not to be offended. That is it, in a nutshell. Do, or do not! Who are we that we say we cannot forgive? Who has made us God?

In today’s world, engaging in open and honest conversation has become increasingly challenging. It’ s difficult to know what one can or cannot say without offending someone. Our culture seems to be walking on eggshells to avoid offending.

Things will no longer be the same. God is giving us the gift of shift. I love it. He keeps saying, “My gift of shift is yours.”

As a child, I don’t ever remember anyone ever talking to me about forgiveness. In all honesty I don’t think I ever even considered that word in my vocabulary. Anger and hate, I could relate to.
