In the book “Unoffendable” author, Brant Hansen makes this observation that is so powerful.  He said, “Some people are artists.  They just see things better.  When they look at something, they see potential outcomes.  They see what could be.”

This is how Jesus operated, and this is what it takes to be unoffendable.

We see the human condition and shouldn’t be shocked by it…people will disappoint us…people will at times do and say incredibly mean things…people will make really dumb decisions, even destructive decisions…don’t be surprised when that happens.

• But we also need to see things better….we should see what could be…we focus on that picture.

Maybe our struggle to overcome offenses isn’t that everyone is out to offend us or that there are so many offensive things present in our world…maybe it’s because we have stopped looking for the beautiful exceptions?
