When you are offended by another, and you let it dwell in your mind over and over again...
That is like you walking in a bad mud puddle or quicksand.
Don’t walk in the opinions of others or the offenses of others... instead...
Turn your eyes to Jesus, and see the lord’s Love for You. Then you will walk in higher ground and your life will be filled with His Presence (Love) and Glory.
Daily – Each Evening Forgive – let go of the offenses from others. Ask the Father to take care of them and let His Righteousness, and Peace and Love with Joy be in their souls concerning you and that situation.
Then you, too, walk in the Mind of the Father concerning you.
Matthew 6:14-15 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
If your attention and thought is continuously on the offence of another, then you are having fellowship with darkness, rather than abiding in the light that is Christ.
Have no fellowship with darkness... respond to the love of Father for you which is Jesus Christ.
Matthew 6:22-23 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, they whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Also Matthew 5:44 says to bless, do good, and pray for your enemies. That doesn’t mean to hang out with them just because you have forgiven them... Always follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in your daily walk. Ask before you touch or leap... so you are walking by the Lord and not by sight. Very Important! Especially around those that are not lead of the Lord in their actions towards you.
Trust the Lord to resolve. Give it time. But you must let the offences go, and walk in the Lord’s love for you. Then you will be able to desire God’s blessing for your enemies rather than let them pull you into their mess.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Look at Jeremiah 29:7 and learn a lesson from the Lord for your peace:
v7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
Allow His Kingdom that is Righteousness, Peace, and Joy in the Holy Ghost dwell in you and you in Him.
(Romans 14:17, Luke 16:16, Luke 17:20-21, John 3:3-5, Eph 5:26-27) And where ever you go, that land is governed by the Lord and blessed.
Amen.
