Betrayed!

Boy, do I ever wish the was the title of Pirates of the Caribbean 4- but it isn't.

It's a true life adventure of another kind. One I am living in and one that is causing me to wrestle with the true meaning of forgiveness. It is painful and lonely process... The details do not matter. Where was doing what is right? Where is loyalty? Where is fairness? And where can I find the strength in my heart to forgive and trust again?

I am not Jesus- far from it- but his encounter with Judas keeps running through my mind. If he can forgive mankind and his executioners on the cross, surely I can forgive, too. Father, give me strength!
