All who hate me whisper about me,
imagining the worst.
8 “He has some fatal disease,” they say.
“He will never get out of that bed!”
9 Even my best friend, the one I trusted completely,
the one who shared my food, has turned against me.
10 Lord, have mercy on me.
Make me well again, so I can pay them back!
11 I know you are pleased with me,
for you have not let my enemies triumph over me.
12 You have preserved my life because I am innocent;
you have brought me into your presence forever. Psalm 41:7-12

I could go on a long spiel about this–betrayal is very painful.
Indeed it is. I have needed to get rid of some spiritual infection in my life because of betrayal. It is always hardest when the wound is in the back.
Yes. Sometimes I have a flashback to something/someone–and I still have the gut response of disbelief, even if most of the anger has worn away…it’s no mystery that a lot of believers become “lone ranger” Christians when their trust gets whacked…oh well, we soldier on, eh? 🙂
In case you need to hear it today, I derive a lot of comfort from our exchanges in these comment boxes, Pastor J. Thank you for being here.
I love the conversations we get into Bella, and we do soldier on and the One who walks beside us holds us up when we get to weary or wounded for the walk.
That’s a great reminder, Brother–I can feel Him holding me up today 🙂
