We live in a culture that gives honor to people who portray themselves as victims. As a result,

we’re becoming experts at casting ourselves as victims and telling ourselves stories that put us

at the center of injustices. But if we allow ourselves to be easily offended by others, it indicates

that we aren’t aware of how offensive we ourselves are. Not just to others, but specifically to

God. But when you consider your life from God’s perspective, we realize we’re not as innocent

as we portray. The ability to reconcile broken relationships begins with seeing how God treats

people who have offended him.
