Sense of Betrayal…

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

I’m curled up in a ball…
Screaming at what they’ve done
My insides are hurting so bad…
And I can almost feel my heart bleeding
As I watch a trail of betrayal behind my back
They promised me never to hurt me
Only to listen and give advice
And I believed them…

May god pity me for being so dumb, so naive and so trusty
For believing the foolish lies …
As they slipped from their bitter lips
May god have mercy on them for committing such a thing
For taking something so precious from someone so young
As for me…I dont know when my heart can heal..

As I dont know if i can forgive or forget..
Their acts will continue to linger in the worst of my thoughts
as I will curse their names as it passes through my innocent head
And never will I trust another like the way I trusted them.

“Suffering”

Can Suffering becomes a new source of hope and life for us?

None of us rejoice in the fact that we are suffering, but suffering can produce a change in the direction in our spiritual lifes.  Our suffering will, hopefully, turn us round to come in closer touch with the presence of God in our lifes. Often the ultimate goal of suffering is to increase our level of trust in God.  It is also an opportunity for our spiritual growth in the time we spend struggling through the throes of pain and suffering.  When we trust God, He gives us the hope and courage to look our suffering in the face and to go through the suffering confidently with a renew spirit and heart.

In suffering we may begin to understand God’s plan for us personally.  We may get to know Him personally and spiritually and not theoretically or intellectually.

The great secret in life is that suffering can become a source of new hope and new life. As no hardened ground can bear fruit if it is not broken up by the plow. In like manner, if our hearts are hard like stone, it will not bear fruit; but our lives can be fruitful if our hearts are opened up and softened through suffering.

Our hearts are then renewed and we are born again. We become a re-born human being.
