Why people hurt us

I thought this was a good post about the trap we fall into sometimes. We give people more credit than we should. Don't get me wrong - we have family and friends that are very dependable. They've laughed with us. They've cried with us. They pray for us. But they're not perfect.

I was visiting with a friend yesterday who left the same church we did. She just retired and was looking forward to spending time with friends. Leisurely lunches and shopping trips! Unfortunately, the friends she was counting on are the ones that so easily rejected us. She's feeling lonely. Yes. People can - no, will - hurt you. The only one we can put all confidence in is Christ himself.
