The Cost of Being Unoffendable

Here’s the truth:

We can’t walk in freedom and carry offense at the same time.

Becoming unoffendable doesn’t mean I’m a pushover. It’s being rooted so deeply in my faith that no word or deed can pull me out of His character.

But it will always cost me something:

• Pride.

• The need to be right.

• The right to strike back.

But what it does in my life:

• Peace that lasts.

• Relationships that heal.

• A heart still soft enough to hear God whisper.

“It is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.” Proverbs 19:11

That’s not weakness. That’s enormous strength. It doesn’t come naturally and it requires work but so freeing when we just let it go.
