Why does offense often come from people who are close to us rather than strangers?
How do I usually respond when I feel hurt, misunderstood, or betrayed?
Am I more focused on proving I’m right, or guarding my heart?
What warning signs tell me that offense is starting to take root in me?

📝 Reflection:

Who am I still replaying conversations with in my mind?

How the devil uses offense to trap us:
Offense > Unforgiveness > Isolation/Bitterness > Temptation/Sin Pattern > Shame/Condemnation/ > Fruitless Life
