A Brother Who's Offended

An "Offended Brother..." "A brother ofended is harder to reach than a fortified city." It seems like many brothers dwell on their "self-pity..." Just look at how easy it is for most brothers to get offended. It could be you or I... Or someone they've befriended... Many stop having anything to do with a particular person. They read God's word. But fail to learn HIS divine lesson. Jesus said; "Blessed are you when you're cursed, persecuted and despised." So why do so many "brothers" hold "vengence in thier eyes?" Is there someone you know... Thay you've completely shut out? Is this what being God's child... Is really all about??? If Christ really gave to us. What we certainly deserve... Than his blood's atonement. Would not be perserved.. In spite of our sin and faults... God's heart bleeds... He's so willing for forgive and to meet all of our needs! Don't allow an offense to turn into a "huge brick wall." Christ came to forgive... And to be a sacrifice for all! By Jim Pemberton 10/09/09
