Offenses will come when you serve God.

-In the church, offenses test your commitment to serve. Some have experienced offense and immediately decided they were quitting their department or even the church because the insult was not worth it.
The question is, how important is knowing and serving God to you? Is He worth it?

-Outside the church, offenses test your shame or joy in serving God. Will you deny Him or represent him among your family, friends, colleagues, clients, superiors or strangers?

Offenses are the way we grow. The things that offend us expose our flaws. Offense is an opportunity to overcome a flaw, a weakness, a bad attitude, a bad habit, disobedience (sin) and ultimately to overcome some elements of pride still in us.
The truth is, if we submit to the process, we would realise that it is God sending people to correct and reshape us, to make us more like Him, humble, diligent and suitable for His workmanship.

Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,
“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,” and
“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.
1 Peter 2:7-8

See an offense as an opportunity to learn and grow today.
You will both see your weakness and learn more Self-control.
Good morning friends, have a fruit-full day.
