Why do we jump to offense or take things personally as a reaction. Most times offense began with a misunderstanding and can end badly over nothing. Our original reaction was never justified but think we're did it come from?
The definition of offense is: an annoyance or resentment brought about by a perceived insult to or disregard for oneself or one's standards or principles. So it's based on your "perception". What not only do you see, hear and judge can be wrong. However your pride will not let the so called "perception" go and you make it an offense.
The Most High wants you to exam yourself. Stop and think of the last offensive you experienced and ask "was it?" Did it truly seem to be as emotional as you thought?
There are sometimes that the offense is valid but did we really check ourselves. Our flesh reacts far to much, and has to much Liberty. This allows for spirits to inhabit your decisions, distort your view and whisper false witness in your ear.
Slow down, pause, breath and get completely conscious. Discern the spirit and deal with it. Even if that foul spirit is within you.
“And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.”
Matthew 11:6 KJV
