I’m still shocked when people move funny.
Still taking offense at behavior You already showed me was coming.
Still acting surprised when patterns repeat.
And if I’m honest?
It’s not that I didn’t see it.
It’s that I hoped it would change.
Sometimes God warns us … not to make us paranoid but to prepare our posture.
And instead of adjusting…
we stay open where we should’ve guarded.
We stay soft where we should’ve been wise.
We stay available where we should’ve stepped back.
Then we get offended.
But maybe the real issue isn’t them.
Maybe it’s that we ignored discernment.
Being a Christian doesn’t mean being naïve.
Loving people doesn’t mean being blind.
Grace doesn’t cancel wisdom.
Sometimes the offense hits harder because deep down we knew.
Let’s talk.
Have you ever:
• Been hurt by someone God already showed you about?
• Ignored discernment because you didn’t want to seem “judgmental”?
• Taken offense at something you were already warned about?
No shame. Just maturity.
