My title for this may be depressing, but I promise by the end of the writing you will feel encouraged!
Feeling betrayed. There is no doubt in my mind that there is not one single person in this world that has never felt the feeling of betrayal. It sucks! Am I right? Hey, maybe you're the one who caused the Betrayal?
Maybe the act of betrayal was a tiny sting? Maybe it was a huge impact that will never be forgotten? Was the betrayal done by a loved one? A mere acquaintance? A boyfriend or girlfriend? Wife or husband? I can go on and on. No matter what the size was or who was the party involved, the Betrayal happened. It probably hurt bad!
Here goes my weird memory again. Oh, let me tell you for those new readers of mine. I have a weird memory. I blame it on the MS. The long-term memory is supposed to be really good, short-term memory not so good. Example would be my husband can tell me something and maybe a few days later or a week later I would ask him a question about what he told me. He's no longer surprised because the signal from the muscles in the ear are kind of damaged so it takes forever for it to get to my brain. Sorry just a little of my MS symptom trivia. Not the same with everyone though. Anyway back to the writing.
So, I remembered something that happened when I was 19. And, I am 38 now. Yep, weird memory. Or, could be that the horrible bad incident left a. pretty nasty internal scar. All I know is that the Lord wanted me to remember it so I can include it in today's writing.
It was about a boy I used to kick it with. He hurt me so bad. I remembered I really liked definitely not loved this guy. He ended up getting my friend pregnant. Yup. that happened. At the time of course it hurt. Then, I met my husband and I was beyond happy, me and the other dude didn't work out. I have no idea what's going on over there. Again, that was in my past and it will probably be forgotten in a minute.
As far as my old friend, many many years ago when I was already married to my husband, her and I met for lunch.
I still remember where we went and I remember what she ordered. Also, another thing I remember is she never apologized. And, that's okay. Because, sometimes people won't apologize. We don't have control over that . But we still have to forgive them.
Let me end with some wise words from C. Lewis. Enjoy this Lord's day! And, welcome Khalil Mack and the first day of football Sunda
"Consider some of our Teacher's lesson
1) No person on earth should hold all our trust. Until death, not one of us is perfect. We all sin. We have, do and will fall short.
2) God alone deserves unqualified trust. Only He will not fail or forsake us. Only He is flawless in Word and deed.
3) Forgiveness is the cure for betrayal. The sting still bites, but it will leave no mark. Our hearts will revive and thrive even more." CL
