Every sunset says, "You get another chance tomorrow."

Today someone made the decision to allow me hurt in order to alleviate another’s pain. Not gonna lie the decision hurt me. I am not sure which hurts more the physical pain or my emotions right now. But even in the midst of all the pain there is a lesson. People will fail you no matter how much they love you, or how much you love them (you will fail them too). Does this mean we don’t love, don’t trust? No. It simply means that our hope and trust should be in God who does not disappoint. As we trust Him it will allow us to let those around us be who they are. Even when what they do hurts.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3).
So what’s my plan of attack? Love the way the God intends me to, even If I get hurt.
You don’t have vengeance and that is good.
No, no vengeance. I am sure I have disappointed many people that I truly love.
“For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning: that we should love each other” 1 John 3:11. Well done you!
Thanks, at the time I didn’t feel “well done”, but looking back God was dealing with me and my view of the situation.
