If You Are Lost, You Need A Compass, But Even If You Have One, Which Direction Is YOUR Compass Pointing?
If you are lost, you need a compass, but even if you have one, which direction is YOUR compass pointing? A compass has 360 points, so the question is, is your needle pointing true north, or one of 359 other degrees that will lead you astray?
You see, in this life we all are 'lost' on our path to eternity, so we need a true compass to lead us to safety. The question is where do we find this compass of life, and what direction does it say we should go?
Jesus gave us the answer when He said:
“ I am the way, The truth, and The life. No man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME.” John 14:6
You see, the compass Christ gives us will always point 'True North' and just like today’s scripture will always point us on The Way To God.
When you follow HIS Pointer, it will ALWAYS point you to SAFETY.

We live in a “culture of offenses” where we must be careful to continually be politically correct or we might get in hot water and offend those around us. Sadly, offending people has become a sort of negative norm and has risen to the forefront in our daily interactions with each other. As hard as we try, somewhere someone is offending somebody sometime and we have no control over how people respond to what happens to them. So while we have zero control about the response of people that feel offended, we have total control of how WE respond when people offend us.
We can’t help the poor actions or offensive statements of others, nor can we stop racists from hating, sexists from denigrating, or elitists from power trips, but God has given each of us the spirit of Self-Control — the self-same spirit that Jesus practiced all throughout His ministry. When or if you are confronted with offensive verbiage or other abuse, practice the following:
See offenders as broken people in need of God’s grace, not as people who are out to get you
Extend grace and compassion towards those who hurt you.
Choose not to take up an offense and let it roll off your back!
Like anything in life, GODLY LOVE is the answer. When someone offends you, forgive and pray for them. Their offensive action is a clue they need inner healing and compassion.
