offense

It is so easy to be offended in the body of Christ, does God ordain the offence so you can learn to walk in love or is it satan working through that person? I dont know, I think sometimes it can be either but no matter what, we have to walk in love and we have to forgive, I believe as christians we hold each other to higher standards so when someone hurts us we are shocked as well as mad and offended. We also don't understand why when we offend someone they don't forgive right away because we'll thats what we are suppose to do, when Jesus told his disciples offence will come they said Lord increase our faith, if someone offends us we must forgive and sometimes we may have to say Lord increase our faith because we are all being transformed into his image but we are not perfect people. Praise God for mercy.
