True you’ve been hurt. You’ve been down but never count yourself out; it’s how you rise again that counts. Ok; maybe rejection has hit hard. Or maybe you put too much trust in man instead Him. So; you dust yourself off and try again. Yes. It hurts and you’re allowed to say so. It’s how you rise again; you’ll begin to let go. You’re allowed to feel what you feel. Grief, anger, hurt, or sadness. In His Arms; you find a strength that helps you rise stronger than you can imagine. Betrayal? Nothing hurts worse than this; it’s about the rise; don’t let evil win. He never promised that life with Him would be a perfect road home; he did promise that He would never leave you nor forsake you; so Rise; for you are never alone!!

- Comment from author about the poem: π we all fall short at times; weβre called to Rise and take our test over and over again until we pass; then we move to the next level. Easy? Sounds like it right? Far from it; keep in your faith.

Thank you π my friend
You are most welcome Sharon
Sharon, this feels like someone speaking from lived hardship rather than abstract advice. The repeated call to rise again, even through betrayal and pain, gives the piece warmth and conviction. Wonderful write, my friend. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬
I believe even in a divided world , we each have a story as mentioned in my poem that literally can bring us together. Thank you Tristan!
