This speaks to both men and women. Throughout life we will get hurt and people will betray our trust it's inevitable. It's life. What I want to point out and maybe give you a better understanding of is being able to forgive, let go and move on to your ultimate purpose. Easier said than done, right? Of course, but good things have never come easy which is why it almost takes everything we have to be able to drop the pride and forgive those who have wronged us so we can let go and then move on and the only way to achieve all 3 is to do them in that exact order. Look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see? I would assume you see a wiser, stronger, more confident person than you were before all the pain.. but a lot of people belittle themselves instead when in reality you are all of the above, but your victim mentality is clouding who you really are. If you hadn't been hurt and let down you wouldn't be able to see the beauty of those who will come to heal you it's kind of like holding on to 5 1$ bills as a kid rather than accepting the 10$ bill instead. Why? Because 5 ones "quantity" is more than a 10. But quality wise it's twice as much, you see what I'm trying to say? There is so much more for you than what you're holding on to, forgive that person that hurt you so you can let go and then move on eventually into the arms of the one who will never hurt you.. whom God has created to be your "soul mate". Stop holding on to pain, resentment, unforgiveness, brokenness, loss.. the 5 1$ bills and grab hold on to the one thing that will make you whole again so He can lead you to the person he has picked out just for you... God. The Bible tells us that he knew every day of our lives before we were even born, God knew that person was going to hurt you, he knew they were going to betray you and he let it happen not because he doesn't love you, but because he knew from that you would become a beautiful butterfly, you had to be the caterpillar first, you had to be stomped on and let down because that is what makes us stronger, that is what shapes us into the brave and confident men and women that we were meant to be. God himself was hurt, abused, betrayed far beyond what we will ever have to face so understand that he knows your pain anything you could ever face he understands and if you ask him to help you forgive, let go and move on. He will. There is so much beauty in letting go trust me from experience, I know. I still haven't met my soul mate but I have all the time in the world and I know for certain that he is going to be the most amazing man I will ever meet & that he will be placed into my life when God sees fit, but for now I will choose to live my life the best way I can and allow God to use my struggles to help someone else. Remember, you have to be willing and ready to live your best life before you actually can and that means forgiving, letting go and moving on. Don't let one person keep you from reaching your full potential, you are gold. You are precious and you deserve happiness. Go get it!
