betrayal

No, i don't write because i am recently betrayed. but looking back on the past...(i know this sounds like a melancholic post) but have we not looked at someone in the eye and realised that they are betraying us. in the face!! but truth is, that is how we feel.
On the other person's point of view, they might be going through a new phase in life, or experiencing transition, basically, a total distraction or somewhere that needs more of their attention.
The worst form of betrayal is that of friendship, believe me. Ok that's for me. I have never really fallen in love to that point of feeling betrayed.So in a way i am protected. lol. So let's see,friendships - guy or gal, regardless of gender they have equal potential to hurt a person.
So I will have to assess and differentiate who are the people that have issues personally, who are those trying to get others down on purpose, and who are those who really need an apology from me.
you are not alone. people, even great people in the bible have endured tons of betrayal. Jesus's best buddy denied him three times before a crowd of people. Imagine the feeling...ergh.
Well think about it this way, after you have been betrayed you truly know the person's true colours and why would you carry on holding on to this friendship, unless you are Jesus? or unless He really give you His agape unconditional love to forgive the person, but then again, that doesn't mean going back to the same level of friendship, or does it? i really don't know...
the reason why i would never take revenge or give the person back what he did (i almost always don't do that) is because you truly truly don't know what they (he or she) is going through at that point in time. if they were facing traumas, trials, or simply very distracted, or serious issues, how would we really know? only God knows what they are facing and it would be mean to play God here. especially if they were really facing something difficult. besides mercy and forgiveness will ultimately come back to you, if you give it to others. :)
