Offended | Warren Watermeyer

When emotions are high, understanding and learning are low. Not taking offence allows for greater depth to be uncovered in our interactions and for previously inaccessible relational layers to be reached.
Reflection Questions:
• Are you easily offended?
• How do you handle offences within your closest relationships?
• How can you apply the principle of “Think, Pray, Say” in your daily interactions?
Scriptures Referenced:
• Proverbs 19:11
• Proverbs 12:16
• James 1:19-20
• Colossians 3:12-15
Key Takeaways:
• Offence is more about the state of your heart than the measure of the injustice.
• Finding security in Christ reduces our likelihood of taking offence.
• Overlooking offences allows for greater understanding and growth.

Thank you Rev❤

[@FaithStoryMinistry]

Always a pleasure Tanya 🙏🏻

[@user-gt5df9gd4c]

Thank you Warren for this practical message, albeit not always easy to carry out. God Bless

[@FaithStoryMinistry]

You're very welcome Rowene. Incredibly powerful when we do carry it out. May the Lord strengthen us all in those moments 💪🏼🙏🏻

[@michellevanvuuren4255]

Really loved this Warren. Thank you 🙏🏻 Out of all my homework this far, this is by far the hardest part for me. I will keep 🙏🏻 praying and allow the Lord to change and mold me, little by little. Amen

[@FaithStoryMinistry]

Imagine being "unnoffendable" Michelle!! What a powerful witness that would be! I think that's what Pontius Pilate, Herod and all the others witnessed when the Lord was crucified. Always going to be plenty of work for us, but always going to be worthwhile work 😊🙏🏻

TPS - thank you Warren. Never easy, but such good advice 🙏

[@FaithStoryMinistry]

An absolute pleasure Lee. I can't help but wonder how many unnecessary arguments we would avoid if only we TPS 🙏

[@nathanhill7094]

Wise words 😔

[@FaithStoryMinistry]

Wise words from Solomon that take a lifetime to exercise 😳! We're a step closer by at least knowing the words we need to practice 😁

[@fionaspringer7617]

I needed to hear this, thank you. I loved the Bible verses

[@FaithStoryMinistry]

I'm so glad Fiona. It's one of those we all need to hear more often than we'd like to admit I suppose! 🙏🏻
