I have seen people who have gone through a difficult divorce.

They have been hurt.

I've seen people who have been cheated, and it was real.

But the difference is those people never let that situation go.

They always brought that situation back into their life.

And you know, these types of offenses, they don't do us any good.

You see, they only bring heartache, resentment, bitterness, unforgiveness.

See, that's what offense does when it gets into our heart.

It produces in our life.

That's why we have to make sure that we don't allow what happens to us to get in us.

You see, I believe that God wants us to understand that we are secure in Him.

You know, we talk about identity.

We talk about what we identify with.

You see, if you identify with your job and your job goes away, then your identity has gone away.

If you identify with a…

person and they make you important, if that person happens to leave or that person happens to disappoint you or say something to hurt you, guess what?

Your identity has been crushed.

You see, we are to identify with Jesus Christ.

We are to find our security in Him.

We have to know that he is for us and he's not against us.
