I don't think I have met you before..it is nice to meet you.<BR/><BR/> I understand this post TOO well. I too have been betrayed in all those places. It hurts, rocking your world and leaving you in the arms of the only one who is reliable. People wound people...yet it's not what it was meant to be. That's why we feel it so deeply. Our hearts were not created for this.<BR/><BR/> I too choose relationship, though sometimes it is messy and painful. Because it is in the image of relationship that I was created. It is what I was made for.<BR/><BR/> I too understand. <BR/>Hugs,<BR/>JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-15207158579563798162008-08-29T19:13:00.000-07:002008-08-29T19:13:00.000-07:00Cindy, thanks for your comment on my blog.

We never need it more than when we have experienced the pains and betrayals of this world. I have known all manner of betrayals in my life and have learned that my flesh, along with the flesh of others, is prone to failure. Sometimes small, sometimes harsh, but always wounding.<BR/><BR/>You're right in saying that Jesus is the only One worthy of our trust. He will never fail us; that being said, I would miss out on a great deal of living and love by insulating my heart from trusting others. When it's bad...it's an awful bleed. But when it's good...it mirrors the heart of our Father's love for us.<BR/><BR/>I choose relationship, and I hear that in your words tonight. Anyway, sorry for rambling. I'm so glad to meet you. <BR/><BR/>peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-82397025100532396192008-08-28T16:08:00.000-07:002008-08-28T16:08:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.elaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-1756587317067607072008-08-28T12:51:00.001-07:002008-08-28T12:51:00.001-07:00Dear Father God, hold your precious daughter right...Dear Father God, hold your precious daughter right now and continue to whisper in her heart just how much You love and adore her.
