Travels through Life by Millie Jackson

BETRAYAL

To learn that you can't trust the one person that you thought you could trust with your life is hard to accept that person was the one person that wasn't ever to hurt you. The one you could depend on to always be there and listen to you, to know how you felt about certain things. How that person could be lying to you the whole time, slipping around behind your back and doing things that he knew would hurt you very badly.

The truth is that he didn't care. He knew that it would hurt you if you found out that what he wanted was more important to him than your feelings. How can that person love another person and do that? They can't. That's not love. Love is always about caring for the other person and trying very hard not to hurt them. And to deliberately do that to another person is cruel and selfish. Not considering the one person that he made a commitment before God to honor and protect above all others.

The sad thing to me is not only did he betray me, he betrayed God. He didn't keep his vows to Him either. Greed, ambition, drugs, and worldly things came before God's law. Satan knows how to get people to disobey. God, he made it look so tempting and good. But in the end he destroys. There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, just God's promise that if we live our lives by His rules that we won't be destroyed. Satan is a liar, he is the father of lies.
