So very true. I've seen this time and again. Even knowing that how someone has treated another will one day happen to you, doesn't hurt any less, but at least you aren't surprised when it does.

Hi Jeff:Your comment came at the perfect time. A friend I love to pieces is grappling with the end of a bad relationship and she's hurting a lot. I just sent her the saying, "Rejection is God's protection." It absolutely is, but it sure is difficult to see that when you're immersed in it all.Happy to hear from you.Cynthia

These are really wise words…thanks Cynthia.I'm reminded of the breakup of my last relationship, and the heartbreak coming not so much from the actual loss, but from the realization that to stay would be foolishness.I saw how she lied to all her friends, and just as often, to herself…and when she lied to me, as trivial as it was on the surface, I realized there was no future there.There's a saying I heard that touches a similar thread: "Rejection is God's protection."

Rabab:I'm always ruffled when someone hurts you, but I know you have everything you need to navigate the most treacherous situations. Also, that inside line to God you've always had keeps you safe and living in love.Bless you, my best friend.Cynthia

My Beloved Best Friend,I couldn't help but re-live my hurt short time ago with a friend that I truly thought would have my back but proved otherwise. She hurt me very deeply many times and I experienced the selective recognition of the problem more often that I should have, by choice of course. However, as time heals all wounds, I reflected on the experiences and I clearly see how when you trust God in your life, He orchestrates our destiny in such a way, that you have to take the lesson and thank Him for the opportunity. Through it, I learned love and forgiveness but clearly learned that “When people show you who they are, Believe them.” I do hope to keep guard and be careful. Thank you for your great insight. You are brilliant!!

I hear ya and agree. Just because you have not been bitten yet, who are you and why are you different? Your bite will come. Steer clear. Caution is advised. Good point.
