Verse of the Day: Proverbs 19:11

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

Wise people stay calm and patient when they are offended. They don’t react out of impulse or speak without thinking. This doesn’t mean they compromise their values, it means they take time to listen, understand, and respond with grace and integrity. In a world that often reacts in anger or judgment, God calls us to rise above and reflect His character. We won’t always agree with others, but we’re still called to be kind. Many times, people who are hurting end up hurting others. But those who walk in God’s wisdom seek to understand, not to retaliate. So when someone offends you, take a deep breath, and choose love over anger. Forgive, just as God forgives you every day. Let your response mirror the heart of Christ. And in those moments, take time to praise God for His patience with you, for His never-ending mercy, and for giving you the strength to love like Him.

“Forgiveness” by Matthew West is inspired by a true story, this song powerfully captures the struggle and freedom found in choosing to forgive, even when it’s hard.
