Karen Woodall’s Setting Aside Offenses – My favorite quote from this article:
As we rely on the Holy Spirit and trust Him to give us spiritual discernment, we can then move beyond our self-centered reactions and learn to look past the caustic words of those around us to see the hurting souls who often spew out ugliness and negativity due to their own brokenness.
