“But when Jacob woke up in the morning—it was Leah! “What have you done to me?” Jacob raged at Laban. “I worked seven years for Rachel! Why have you tricked me?””
Genesis 29:25 NLT
Ok so I felt for Jacob today. It brought up some feelings from BETRAYAL I've experienced in my
own life.
The Lord is teaching me as we speak how to accept things as they are. The reality is people are human. As much as I may look up to someone or have expectations of people, the reality is even good people, religious people, are human too! They will disappoint and make mistakes. It is part of the human condition.
I am working through several past experiences I have felt betrayed and abandoned. I hate to e the barer of bad news, but we are all going to likely experience betrayal, abandonment and so many other hard things. The important part is how we respond to it. It's important to go through the process in healthy ways to heal. Im learning to grieve, process, forgive, have compassion and cope in healthy ways.
I’m so thankful the Lord is Love! He loves me (and you) so very much.
He sees our pain, He hurts when we hurt. And praise God he works all things for my good. I can rest assured in that even in betrayal or recognition of abandonment that God is good. He’s good to me and He is good at being God. #Selah
