Yes, you heard it right. I was also the product of being offended, but I chose to stay. I prefer to be brave and turn that hatred into a challenge to overcome. So here's my story -
What is our response when we are offended, misunderstood, unfairly or unkindly treated, or sinned against, made an offender for a word, falsely accused, passed over, hurt by those we love, our offerings rejected? Do we resent, become bitter, hold a grudge? Or do we resolve the problem if we can, forgive, and rid ourselves of the burden? - Marion D. Hanks (Forgiveness: The Ultimate Form of Love)
