"An offended brother is more unyielding than a fortified city, and disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel." (Proverbs 18:19)
Whenever there is a difference with a brother about anything we are faced with an opportunity to create either a consensus or a dispute. If we create a dispute we are then faced with the choice of building a bridge or a wall. Thoughtful understanding will build a bridge, and an unyielding position will build a wall. Most of us have offended someone and built a few walls in our times. For one reason or another we have had a disagreement with a brother who we have offended and then we are in a tough spot. The offended person tends to draw into a secure place and resists further discourse. The answer to an offended person is always a gesture of peace, an offer of repentance and forgiveness. That is how strongholds have always been broken. If you have offended someone and they are closed off from you, humble yourself and seek forgiveness. Remember, the LORD blesses peacemakers!
