Ouch..

Hurt is inevitable.

So is change.

No one is exempt from these two feelings, ever. All we can do is learn to deal with them appropriately and maturely. Forgive..even if no apology is offered... forgive. See the other persons perspective, bring it to God if you must, and move on.

In general I feel discouraged lately. I feel like I am constantly encountering hurt. Hurt people, hurt feelings, hurt relationships, hurt pasts, hurt presents... hurt. I feel like there is nothing that can get rid of it, it's everywhere, like some nasty disease eating people from the inside and leaving nothing but an empty desire for something more. But I have to remember and I have to constantly remind myself that I have something more. I have a Living Hope inside of me. I have The Living Hope inside of me. I have the answer. I have the cure.

and I need to remember that. That's all that matters. That's really all that matters.
