Hurt.

Hi.

Welcome Back.

Today I want to write about something that is on my mind, which has tentacles that reached down and pricked my heart.

Betrayal.

I know the scripture, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone”. (Romans 12:18), and like every other commandment in the bible, I adhere to it as much as I possibly can. You know one thing I love about God? He UNDERSTANDS. He knows there will be people that just don’t want to live at peace with others, and He beautifully made that clause for the kind of situation that I want to write about today.

Being betrayed is one of the feelings in this life that cannot be fully described with mere words. It eats deep down, past your flesh, down into your soul. Betrayal can birth the most nasty of characteristics within a person – it’s that powerful.

Funny thing about being betrayed is that the pain it inflicts upon you is only equal to how much power you feed it. You may not be able to stop the person from betraying you but you can control how much you will be affected by it.

Yes, it hurts, it hurts a whole lot and more, but you mustn’t give into the negativity it breeds. Do not let someone else’s actions turn you into something you aren’t.

My advice: Don’t sweat it. They chose to hurt you –their loss. You my friend have just escaped one wolf in sheep’s clothing without trying – that’s one less wasted invitation to your success party eh? J
