Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. Psalm 90:2 

We can find ourselves getting pretty steamed, about those who offend our beliefs in God. Sin is sin, a lie is a lie, and the truth is the truth, they are unchangeable. A quick glance at this world, offers plenty for us to be offended by. The blatant disrespect and hate for our God, usually will get a rise out of us. We give a similar response, when someone speaks against our family, and those we love. We love God, our relationship with Him is an intimate and personal one, and we take it personally, when He is attacked. What we must remember is that God is God, He created all, He knows the thoughts, and dreams of those who are offending. He loves and understands them. While His heart breaks at their rebellion against the truth, His love remains for them. The truth is not changed by the lie, or the offence. The truth does not require a defense, it simply is and it will stand. Our hearts possess the truth of Jesus Christ. We can be confident in that truth, and stand firm in it, as we share it with those who have yet to see, hear, and understand.

Prayer

You are God, You have always been, and always will be; all has been created by your hand. Fill our hearts and minds with your truth; enable our lives to reflect truth, love, mercy, and compassion. Enlighten the hearts of those who do not believe, give them understanding of truth and flood their souls completely with your love. In Jesus name we ask. Amen.
