Avoiding the Trap of Being Offended

Book excerpt: Jesus Christ died to set us free from sin, sickness, and poverty. But that is exactly what the enemy has planned for us, and one of the easiest ways for him to enter our lives is through the deception of getting offended and not forgiving others. Its easy to get offended at someone. Another driver cuts us off in traffic. the store clerk overcharges us. Our boos-- or worse our spouse or best friend-- doesn't treat us right. Sometimes all the facts tell us, You're right and they're wrong. You don't have to forgive them! But forgiveness brings great rewards-- greater than we realize.
