Unoffendable.

Romans 12:18: If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men....


When did I become so offendable...no, I don't mean offensive..I mean, offendable. When did I start to taking impervious trite things as personal attacks. When did I give up on being unoffendable.

A man who use to mentor me use to alway talk about being unoffendable and the value of that. I find myself losing at that battle.
Customer Service. I use to love the customer. I find it hard these days to expect the best of the customer. To believe that they are not out to offend me personally, I find it hard to seek their personal best instead of my own personal protection....

I don't know what is wrong these days. I don't know, maybe it is the almost 6 years at my job. I love my job. I love people...why then has it become a chore to remind myself that every day. That I love people and want what is best for them? When did this occur?

Being Unoffendable. Being Teachable. These two qualities were ones that Fred often spoke of when he would speak with Cindy and I. Where have these traits gotten shoved to? How quickly my guard goes up these days.

I need to be broken. I need to be healed and redirected and corrected. Lord, I know that when I ask you to do these things...you will do them and they will look much like it has lately, only you will have to be the power in me to over come.

It has just felt like such an epic fail at something I use to love so much.
