The Power of Forgiveness

We live in a culture of offense. - People are offended by everything these days. You can’t say or do anything it seems without somehow stepping on someone’s toes, and somehow we think being offended gives us power. - Being offended doesn’t give you power. It’s a sign of weakness. Forgiveness gives you power. In fact if you’re easily offended it often points to a deficiency in your own self. - See culture has it backwards. We see forgiveness as a sign of backing down. Never back down never surrender right? But what if we flipped the script and understood that by simply forgiving, we can be a source of healing, not only for the person but for ourselves. - We honestly have no right to be offended because we have all done some offending ourselves. We have all fallen short. Let’s practice forgiveness and see what healing comes from it instead of war. - Be blessed and stay stoked😎🤙
