All of us can find ourselves in the position where we have become offended by something someone has said or done. Offenses can do a lot of damage to your life. When you are offended, that offense can do more than just occupy and harass your mind. That offense can build up a Barrier in your heart that will not be easily demolished. That offense can destroy relationships and turn friends into enemies.
Bible Reading
Notes:
Barriers are obstacles that block intimacy or growth in a relationship. They are often imposed by others or created by oneself to avoid vulnerability.
Boundaries are limits set for oneself and others in a relationship. They define how we want to be treated and how we treat others.
