Luk 17:1 Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!
All the people we interact with on a day to day basis are imperfect beings . We do not deal with perfect bosses, colleagues, spouses, children, neighbours, brothers and sisters. All of them are work in progress. It will continue until we attain the full measure of Christ..( Eph 4:13) In view of the above, they will occasionally offend you.
So do not be surprised when it happens. It proves to you that they are just but human beings. That is why we have words like fore bearing and forgiveness in the Bible. Don’t take everything into your heart.
Some will offend you intentionally in order to provoke you and engage you in a ” fight”. Do not fall into their trap and engage in every battle. God will deal with them; they will not go unpunished.
