Thank you for writing. I think developing an "unoffended heart" – or perhaps better said, an "unoffendable heart" – is something we must all walk out every day. Divisiveness kills the flow of the Spirit and that's what Satan wants. Good job! To hear the Lord and take to heart what He has said is a very good thing! Be blessed! You’re welcome.

It was a new revelation to me. He also showed me that much of my "perceived" offenses were problems with my perception & not necessarily "true" offenses. Then, almost immediately, true offenses started coming my way one after another...a testing of this new-found revelation. As if the Lord was saying "Will you live out what you just learned?" It has not been as easy to live out this revelation as it was to recognize it, but with God's grace it is something that I am growing into & continuing to evaluate myself in. It is a constant struggle with our flesh. Thank you for this reminder of this truth.
