Release the Offense

Ever bake a cake? You wouldn’t want to eat the ingredients raw. Lemon juice is sour. Flour is bland. Raw eggs? Yuck. But when a baker combines them skillfully, the result is sweet and satisfying.

In life, you’ve been given bitter, salty, and unpleasant “ingredients.” Harsh words, betrayal, loneliness, disappointment—each leaves a mark. But God, the Master Baker, can use it all. Nothing is wasted. Every pain, every offense, every bitter memory—He redeems it.

But to let Him bake something beautiful, you have to release the offense. Let go of resentment. Trust Him with your pain. Stop holding on to bitterness like a badge of honor and allow God to heal and transform your story.

Reflection Focus
What hurts have you been holding on to that God is asking you to release today?
