Overcoming Offence
As I scroll through my Facebook newsfeed,
I came across this wonderful article on :
Overcoming Offence
by Guarding the Heart
Conditional love is a love wrapped in a bubble. It pops at the slightest offence.
Wholesome love is an unconditional one that cannot be distorted by expectations of any kind.
And the higher the expectation, the deeper the hurt will be. The more you care about that individual, the more power you give them to hurt you – unless you are set free to love – unconditionally.
Ways to do that:
Offence must come. But it’s up to you if you are going to stoop low to that offence or be bigger than those who offend you.
Your enemies are your opportunities. Stop running away and building walls around you. Break the walls of offence and break them all down with LOVE!

And the higher the expectation, the deeper the hurt will be. The more you care about that individual, the more power you give them to hurt you – unless you are set free to love – unconditionally.
Ways to do that:
- Set your love higher than that of the people who hate you.
- Give without expecting back.
- They can try to hurt you but it’s your choice whether you are going to be hurt or not. They can speak evil of you. But it’s your choice whether you are going to carry that offence in your heart or let go of it.
- Always choose to smile, ignore and love, just as our Master did.
