The Spirit of Offense

How often do you get offended? Do you accept criticism with grace or do you tend to reject it? Are you self-aware enough to accept correction from others? Tough conversations are both inevitable and often times necessary. As either the initiator or the receiver, it is up to us to decide how we will handle confrontational situations. Delivery, tone, and approach all contribute to a conversation’s possible success or failure; however, the posture of our heart and one’s perspective can be the difference between acceptance and offense.
