Stop taking offense about what other people think and concern yourself more with how you feel about yourself and how God feels about you.

Taking Offense – Day 64: Light the World, Build the Kingdom

In today’s world many become offended. Most of what we hear in the media is about someone being upset about what someone else said or thinks about them. Taking offense has become common place.

There is always going to be someone who doesn’t agree with you, thinks you’re crazy, wrong or foolish for your beliefs or the way you choose to live your life.

At some point we have to realize that all that really matters is what God thinks of us and what we think of ourselves when we look in the mirror. Is the person looking back at you someone you respect? Whom you can trust? Whom you can believe in? Whom you can count on? Most of all is the person looking back at you someone God can trust? Whom God can count on? If so, who else’s opinion matters? When we come to that place of confidence, nothing anyone else can say can harm us. If God be with us, who cares who is against us? Let them say what they will. All is well.

How the Challenge Works

Step 1: Ask God each day,“What is one thing I can do to light the world and build the kingdom today?”

Step 2: ACT upon whatever He leads you to do. Go through the day EXPECTING for opportunities to arise.

Step 3: Document somewhere — in your private journal or on your favorite social media platform.

Step 4: Share! If you share publicly, please use our hash tags: #BuildTheKingdom and #LightTheWorldNow so I can cheer you on! If you’re going to be documenting privately, I recommend sharing your experience with a close friend or accountability partner. There is power in the sharing.
