{ DevoRepost: Releasing Offenses & Living in peace. }

“It’s wise to be patient,
Good sense makes a man restrain his anger,
Smart people know how to hold their tongue,
By forgiving others,
It is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense.
They earn respect by overlooking wrongs”

- Proverbs 19:11 (WordRemix // Contempt Eng, AMP, Msg, NLT)

-----

“Every day we have opportunities to get upset, be frustrated or get offended. Life is full of inconveniences, but even though we can’t always control our circumstances, we can control our reaction.
Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you respond.
Most days are not going to go exactly as we plan. We are created to live in peace.
Peace is our position of power. Make the decision to release those offenses and disappointments so you can live in peace and enjoy the day as the blessing God prepared for you.”
- J. Osteen
