Pastor taught on "Offences Management" today. Awesome teaching . Right in my seat I realised we are all at some points baggage of offence to someone else either unknowingly or knowingly.
Most times we get offended not knowing that the offender doesn't know he or she offended us. Your heart is do filled up with hurts that's its hardly can do what it was designed for (that's pumping blood).
Offences must come we can't stop it but we got to learn how to managed it. Every offence well manage matures us.
There is a saying they goes "To err is man, to forgive is divine" we must try to attain this divine state. Love must be paramount. Don't let offence linked long in your mind. Know you might be wrong about a person, your claim and your conclusion. Give your offended the benefit of doubt except it occurs again and again then you develop another approach to manage the offence but not confrontation. Confrontation is just so selfish and it brings venting not peace. Avoid it.
Don't trust the interpretation of peoples actions and try not to develop preconceived hatred. Hold "hear say" as a pinch of salt.
Yea we been used by a whole lot of people, people we loved, adore and respected. Most times they don't know but no need to hold grudges.
Never be in a haste to take permanent action for temporary problems or issues.
Forgive them.
Forgive "me".
I erred you, I love you and I didn't mean to.
Forgive me!!!
One love.
