Obtaining an unoffendable heart...

To obtain an unoffendable heart we must not let our heart grow cold. If the heart
grows cold it will become like stone. This can happen by us allowing an offense to
ferment in our heart. To prevent this we must go to the person who has offended us
and speak out of love to them, not speak about them. We also have to be careful not
to "stumble" over the small things in life. The small things we cannot overcome can
cause us to not endure the "race" of life, and eventually we will harbor lots of small
offenses in hour hearts and soul and become cold or bitter. Instead, we have to be
open to allow the Holy Spirit to expose these things in us so we can repent of them.
When we learn to listen to the corrections of The Spirit we can allow change to take
place in us. And when we allow room for change, we prevent pride from settling
inside of us, so that ultimately we can learn to walk humbly through life. With a
humble attitude we will not be offended when someone does need to approach us
with correction, but instead hear the words they speak and learn from them. And
in the end we will be able to truly pray for those who persecute us and ask God to
really bless those who curse us. So that their offenses cause us to lift them up in
prayer, instead of tear them down to others.
