The exchange of old life for new begins with your thoughts, then includes your words, and then moves to your actions. Here you will feel the pain of death as you do the opposite of what kept your old ways alive. Your old self will not want to do the new Love-actions. It will feel pain as you do them. The pain it will feel is the death of the old self. Pain comes before death. Submit to the pain of these Love-actions and you will see your old self die each time.
It is not possible to follow Me and be offended. I will never lead you to be offended. If you are offended, angry, resentful, or upset with other people, circumstances or your life in general, then you are not close to Me. You are following the voice of a stranger. My children become like Me . . . full of selflessness and humble Love. We do not fight for ourselves but look after the interests of others. We are patient and never demanding. Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 2 Corinthians 11:4 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. Colossians 1:13 He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
