Guard Your Heart Against Offense and Bitterness

Offenses will come, but we can choose how we respond. Holding on to hurt can weaken our desire to pray, worship and walk closely with God. A small wound can grow into bitterness when it is left unchecked. Scripture calls us to guard our hearts diligently. Forgiveness does not deny the pain or excuse the wrong. It releases the burden to God and keeps our hearts free for peace, joy and spiritual growth. Reflect: Is there an offense I need to release? Ask God for the grace to forgive quickly, reject bitterness and keep your heart focused on Him.
