Imagine this how we deal with offences actually shows our maturity in Christ. Please note dealing with pain, wounds, hurt (offences) is different from being abused. God doesn't want anyone in situations where they are abused psychologically, physically or emotionally. Sometimes he will give you a grace to bear this for a season as in instances involving children or dealing with church leadership. For physical abuse though, get out of that as soon as possible.
Here is what the word says about dealing with offences:
Psalm 119:165
King James Version
165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
Some translations use the word stumble instead of offend.
May God give us the grace to build bridges instead of walls when we are hurt or wounded (offended)
It's not the easiest thing to do, but may God give us the grace and help us to.
Amen
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
Pastor J
