Are You Easily Offended
Are you one who tends to
be easily offended,
By those you have loved
and befriended?
Do sometimes words that are often said,
Cause you to wish someone
would “drop dead?”
You say that you love everyone the same,
But in your heart, unforgiveness
continues to reign.
You think you’re walking in
righteousness’ path,
Yet you allow the sun to go
down on your wrath.
There’s a dwelling on
a person’s past,
holding hard feelings
that continue to last.
If you cannot forgive—
you’ll not be forgiven,
If heaven is your choice to
be doing your livin’.
Each day you must drop
any offense aside,
allowing Jesus to remove all
bitterness and pride.
May a sacrifice of love be
what to Jesus you bring,
as you focus on God’s word—
l Corinthians Chapter 13…
