If a person does something that has the potential to offend us, God holds us responsible for whether or not that offense takes root in us. We can choose to let the offense sink into our souls and take root, or we can opt to let it bypass us. We’re not able to control what others do or say to us, but we are able to control what goes on inside of us.

It’s that “inside” part — the part we control — that God will hold us responsible for. Why? Because we are charged with a personal responsibility to oversee what goes on inside our souls.

You have the last word. You’re the one who decides whether or not that wrong settles down into your soul and starts to take root in your emotions.

You may say, “But, Rick, what that other person did to me was so wrong. It hurt me so deeply! It made me so mad!”

Anger is an emotion that comes and goes. You choose whether or not irritation turns into anger , anger into wrath , wrath into resentment , resentment into unforgiveness , and unforgiveness into bitterness . You choose whether these foul attitudes and emotions take up residency in your heart or are booted out the door!

When the devil comes to tempt you with an annoying, hounding thought about the person who offended you, you have a choice at that moment whether or not to let it sink in. You’re the only one who can give permission for these attitudes to settle in and take up residence in your mind and emotions.

So quit saying, “I’m this way because So-and-so did this to me” or “I can’t help the way I feel.” Those are all lies . If you’re filled with bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness, you permitted the devil to sow that destructive seed in your heart and then you permitted it to grow. Remember, you’re the bishop of your own heart!
