Hurt

You know, it's bad enough when people hurt you. I've been disappointed, annoyed, and angered by numerous people in my life. People have abandoned me, betrayed me, and even taken advatage of my good nature. I've just had enough of this garbage.

However, the Lord has called me to a new life. As a Christian, I've accepted Christ as my Master, and I am to live according to His will. This means to love others even when they're not loving, and to forgive the unforgivable. This sometimes feels like a one-way street, though. How can I love people who don't love me, and how the heck am I supposed to refrain from taking revenge on someone who has hurt me badly? Well, I do it anyway because I know that God has called me to be loving, gentle, and kind - the exact opposite of what I am naturally. I'm giving it all I've got, and though people around me continue to take and take and take, and give nothing back, I know that I am living in obedience to the Lord.

Stuff it! Who cares what others think of me?!

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
