Offence is the bait of Satan
To trap you in sin’s snare
Sometimes it is caused by those
For whom you really care
Offence can be the product
Of your own imagination
Or refusal to accept rebuke
When it is rightly given
Hurt, betrayal and affliction
Will produce ungodly fruit
If we choose to focus on these things
Keep focused on the good
Insults, strife, outrage, resentment
Envy, jealousy and rage
Bitterness, division, wounding
Are produced in Satan’s cage
Sowing discord among brethren
Drawing others into sin
Through your gossiping and slander
Is a game you just can’t win
When you let the truth offend you
It can’t heal or let you grow
You just open doors to curses
When offence will not let go
Fear of hurt builds walls around you
Unconditional love won’t flow
Unforgiveness stops God’s blessing
For we reap the things we sow
