Offended Cycle

When we accept an offense, it begins to dismantle our armor. The word offended can be translated "to stumble". If we allow an offense to take root in our lives, we will develop spiritual sickness. This causes an imbalance in our spirit and is manifested by fretfulness, anxiety, fearfulness, restlessness and despair. Offenses need to be dealt with and released quickly. This is a maturity skill, it does not come naturally. This lesson and the next four will give us the skills to release offenses quickly.
