I Am Difficult to Offend - Power Thought #4
Psalm 119:165
"Great peace have they who love Your law: nothing shall offend them or make them stumble"

Forgive others for your own well being....  resentment, anger, bitterness, grudges... they all effect us and not the other person.  When we don't fogive, we take matters into our own hands and try to fix other people.  Forgiving them allows God to work in their lives. 

Unforgiveness hinders our FAITH and we reap what we sow.  Satan would love nothing more than to stunt your growth spiritually...and he will use others to offend you.  He's fishing, don't take the bait!


ACTION:  List out the benefits from forgiveness.... which could you use most?  If there is anyone you have not forgiven, write their name on a piece of paper and what they did to hurt you.  Pray for them, then shred that paper and toss it away!  Let your feelings go in the trash with it....
PRAY: Dear Lord, Thank you for allowing us to forgive others just as you forgive us. Help me to make choices that limit hurt feelings in myself and to others. I continue to pray for those who have hurt me, I pray for favor with them and I pray that their hearts would be turned and they too would have all the desires of their hearts. In Jesus Name AMEN.
