Offence is like muddy soil; when trapped underfoot, it resists rapid progress. Don't trap offences under your mind, else you resist change! Jesus said "Shake the soil off your sandals"! What are you waiting for? Shake it off!

About This Quote

Many of us are waiting for others to realize they have done wrong or said something wrong in order to apologize or try to make amends. But Jesus is telling us to do the opposite. He tells us to be offended by what is said, so we can respond in a way that will help others see the error of their ways and change their behavior. By keeping complaints about people's actions shut up under our mind, we are resisting change. That's like muddy soil, which resists rapid progress!
