PATIENT WISDOM
Pr 19:11 A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.
There's a correlation between wisdom and patience. If you want to be more patient, become wiser. Furthermore:
Pr 20:3 It is to a man’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.
Pr 14:29 A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly.
Pr 12:16 A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
Pr 15:18 A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel.
More generally it's not wise to become offended over every particular thing, nor to unnecessarily seek to be offended. Very commonly I've notice that some Christians upon meeting other Christians will immediately try to find something to be offended about - whether concerning their doctrine or practice. Is that really wise?
