Don't Miss Your Blessing

Victimhood has gone viral. - Have you noticed it? We are living in an era of extreme offendability and it seems as if everyone is hyper sensitive over every little thing. Being offended is no longer viewed as a flaw in your character but a constitutional right. - Now let me define terms because there’s a difference between offense, and being offended. - Offense is inevitable. At some point or another someone will do something that seems out of line and could be considered an offense against, you, your beliefs, or your character. You don’t however have to be offended by this offense. See, when you are offended, you make the conscious decision to be negatively physically, socially, or mentally affected by what was said or done. It’s entirely possible for an offensive thing to be said while not becoming offended because of it. - So why do I bring this up? - Because I think so many of us become offended so easily over the small things that we miss the big picture. We are so narcissistic that we can’t keep our eyes off ourselves for long enough to realize that every situation is a lens in which both people see it differently and are the victim in their own version. But there’s a blessing on the other side of the offense, we just have to get over it. - What if we got over it.? Not to say that what they did was right, or downplay what was done, but we forgive them. Offense is an event but offended is a decision. Your blessing is waiting on the other side but you can’t get to it unless you get over it. Don’t miss your blessing because you can’t get over it. It’s not worth it. - Be blessed and stay stoked😎🤙
