Because we are people of relationship, it is easy to be offended by someone on a daily basis. That will begin to affect our personality and we become much more critical ourselves. Is there such a thing as having an “un-offendable” spirit? The answer to that is, “yes.”
When you keep your eyes on Jesus Christ, allow His love to fill you every single day and ask Him to help you to look at people through His eyes, it certainly makes a big difference.
An “offendable” spirit will affect your own personality and will isolate you from people. It even causes you to be stressed out. There is so much stress in life today, but I believe that relationship stress is probably the number one stress we deal with every day.
So make a choice today to have an “un-offendable” spirit and choose in your own heart to not let the criticism, condemnation and guilt trips people place on one another affect you.

It is amazing how a “this too shall pass” attitude can make you become a stronger and greater leader because you are not letting yourself be offended. The moment you become offended you lose the ability to help others by speaking life into their spirits and influencing them in a greater way. That is where so many people find themselves today.
But if you trust in God, ask Him to give you His strategy and fill you with His love for His people, you will find that you can bring correction through love. You will have a greater influence in people’s lives and still maintain a spirit that has peace and joy. You will have a greater impact in the sphere of influence God has given you and find that peace will rule in your heart.
Have an “un-offendable” spirit. The choice and decision is yours to make!
