OVERLOOK OFFENSE – (Day 6 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
It’s been a rollercoaster ride of a week for me.
… it is (a person’s) honor and glory to overlook a transgression or an offense [without seeking revenge and harboring resentment]. Proverbs 19:11b AMP
I think at the heart of this concept is the ability to offer grace. Harsh judgements make it easy to see and hold onto offense.
I’m not saying we should take our brain out of gear and go all loosy-goosy with sin. I’m just saying our world can be pretty harsh and others could use a bit of understanding and gentle encouragement.
How did y’all do at overlooking offense with your spouse? Others? What did you learn about yourself?
My first sunflower of the year!
I looked out my window and saw this bit of yellow. It’s just opening up and will be one of those sunflowers that has the super large seed head.
