Don't be easily offended

I always thought that was pretty good advice until one day my dad sat me down to talk about marriage. He said to me, "Heather, a lot of people are going to tell you to not be easily offended, but the reality is there is never a good reason to get offended at all. There is nothing that anyone can ever do or say to you that is as bad as what you did to Christ, and Christ did not get offended...He laid His life down for you."

Just something to think about.

Share it!

Philemon 1:6
"I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ."

I have often heard it said that we are to "know God and make Him known." I think this scripture suggests that we know God through making Him known.

Have you ever experienced this?

Whenever I get together with a certain girlfriend of mine, we always talk about what God is doing in our lives. As we ping-pong our thoughts, I always feel a change in my spirit. It's an awakening...a realization that God is who He says He is, and He does what He says He will do.

The bible says that there is power in the word of our testimony. This power is not just for the sake of the one listening...it's for you too! It brings life, it brings an awakening, and it brings an understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

Try it. Share your faith...tell someone what God has done for you, and see what happens!
