Overlooking Offenses: A Biblical Perspective

Sunday’s Memory Verse for 5/11/25

“A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to OVERLOOK AN OFFENSE.” Proverbs 19:11 NIV

Have you ever been offended by what someone said or did? Of course! We all have! But did you know that God tells us to overlook an offense?

Over 30 years ago, my Bible study teacher recognized that I was upset about something. The next time I saw her, she gave me an index card with Proverbs 19:11 written on it. She probably had no idea that it was going to change my life. As I opened my heart to God’s Word, something wonderful happened! The Truth set me free! 

Read about it in my post, Love Is Strong Spiritual Warfare, HERE.

In His Love, Cindy

  1. I’ve felt your pain and also learned to forgive and move on. Praise God. What’s worse is when your children are hurt by exclusion. Thank you for your thoughts on such a sensitive issue, Cindy. 🙂
