Choosing to stay calm in the midst of being offended is as much a gift to myself as it is to my offender. And it’s the kind of gift I’m asking God to help me give more and more each day.
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1
There is no point in arguing.
Is someone is not in a place to receive the message, nothing you say will convince them.
They will approach you when they are open. In the meantime - live in a way that transcends their mindset.
Nothing persuades better.
