Getting offended will separate you. Obviously it will separate you from people. Holding onto hurt turns into offense. Then anger arises and separates more, because it hurts others.

Even deeper, offense steals the word. Check Mark 4 – what causes good seed not to produce? One type of bad ground is offended. So offense allows the Word to be stolen; it turns The Blessing away.

What are you hoping for? healing? success in school? acceptance? Speak the blessing and don’t get offended.
