Offense Will Come

No matter we do in life; offense will come.  It seems like today though folk get offended so much easier.  I believe it’s because of our low self esteem and so man insecurities.

We get offended so easy these days.  Someone can say or do the least little thing and we get hurt by it.  This in a large part is due to us having insecurities and a terrible self image of ourselves.  Then how we act when we get offended is unreal. We either shut down and half nothing to do with that person or we go off on them.  Why not attempt to make things right? Why not just let them know in a polite, loving way what was done and how we feel? It’s time we start mending relationships and not tearing them apart.  It’s time we come together and stop breaking camp.  When we drop our pride and start humbling ourselves we will see much better results. We may still get offended but it won’t have anything to stick to.  Another area I have to work on is not being hurt when someone cuts me out of their life. If I have offended you in any way I am deeply sorry, but I won’t hold on to it any longer.  If you have chosen to cut me out and not talk to me; then that’s the way it will be.  There is no more I can do but to apologize and attempt to mend things.  No more being help hostage by offense.  Take the high road and do the right thing today. Do your part to love and make things right with folk in your life.  Forgive those that have offended you and let that offense go.  Don’t give the enemy of offense anything to stick to in your life.  Be free of offense today!
