Offence

Proverbs 18:19

“An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city” Offence is the bait of Satan that he uses to ensnare the souls of men. The moment you take offence against another person, you begin to judge them, find fault with them and allow bitterness and resentment to build in your soul. The poison of offence is subtle and disastrous. It puts you into a position that you were never intended to fill (being their judge and jury) and slowly separates you from the life of God that flows through forgiveness and grace. Forgiveness is the only antidote for offence; we forgive others freely because Christ has forgiven us.
