DEALING WITH A BETRAYAL
Dear friend,
If you’re dealing with betrayal, I would advise you to take the path of forgiveness. Let go of the bitterness and hurt, for holding onto those negative emotions only weighs you down. Forgiveness is a powerful tool for healing, and it frees you from the chains of resentment. However, forgiveness doesn’t mean you should forget or ignore what happened. It’s important to be cautious moving forward.
You can forgive someone, but that doesn’t mean you should trust them with the same level of vulnerability, especially if their actions have harmed you before. Learn from the experience, set boundaries, and protect yourself. People who have betrayed your trust once may not hesitate to do so again, and next time, the consequences could be even more severe.
So, while you forgive for your peace and growth, be wise about how you engage with that person in the future. Trust has to be earned, and sometimes, we have to be careful not to put ourselves in harm’s way again. Keep your heart open, but protect your peace and your well-being.
Blessings,
Pst. Wale-Rich Oladunjoye
