This is very unfortunate, but it\u2019s very true. And I am sure that many of us have experienced this. I know that I have. I know that members of my family have. But, we have been betrayed by people that we were close to. People that we loved. People that we trusted. It\u2019s so sad to live in a world where this happens. But it\u2019s reality. On the other side of the coin is this, maybe you were the one who betrayed someone who loves you. It\u2019s an ugly truth. But it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Bible, we learn about this as well. Joseph is a great example. His brothers tore off his robe. And they threw him into the pit. Can you imagine? He must have felt vulnerable. That he didn\u2019t want him anymore. He must\u2019ve felt all alone. Sound familiar? Joseph didn\u2019t do anything wrong. His brothers were jealous. They were angry. They lashed out because of their emotions. Their human emotions. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s correct. Or it\u2019s the right thing to do. I\u2019m just saying that\u2019s what happened. And I\u2019m also saying this, God was there for Joseph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just as God was there for Joseph, he is there for us. He will never abandon us. Actually, it\u2019s just the opposite. He will be with us all the way through moments like this. And even better, he will bless us. Something good will happen. Even when we are at our lowest point. Even when we experience pain like we could ever imagine. Those are the times that we probably find ourselves closer to God. Because those are times that we seek him more. He doesn\u2019t want us to suffer. But that\u2019s part of being part of this world. And there\u2019s another good point about going through something like this. We will be stronger for doing so. We can build our faith for doing so. And we can witness to others more for doing so. And that is awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
