mercy or wrath ?

Sometimes its a little heavy to think about all this...Why tonight? I dont know

Question: Show people who hurt you mercy or wrath
?
Not just physically but mentally, socially, spiritually, emotionally. How do you cope with that decision? I am not handling it very well. Trust? What is trust anymore? Why do we bother letting people in.. that will most certainly take advantage of what we hold the dearest. How can people sleep at night and know they have taken advantage of liberties that were never thiers in the 1st place.

I know what I have been taught...
I know what I have been shown by God...
I know that at times I think I am getting one when im actually getting the other..
I know that God is alot more merciful than me...
I am not sure that I can do what I "know" to do...

Bite me once... a bandage of mercy can be applied to the wound
Bite me twice... even if not by the same... must not go without action.
- that is what I have always lived by and thought... I grew up to know that there is sometimes a better way, but when is enough, .. ENOUGH

How do you find people/friends/loves that would die for you. People who would rather be inflicted by all the pain in the world to keep you from an ounce of it. I want to be the person who would gladly grab a bee off your shoulder and hold it in my hand till it stings me.. just so you wouldnt have to go through it. Where do you find that dedication. If there is someone out there who wants that that kind of devotion... I am waiting. I am here and willing to reciprocate that type of life for a person. Friends or possible Love, It doesnt matter. I hope to God I am not the only one who feels this in my soul.
I hate blogging - If you know me, you know I dont express my feelings well, or very often. so...if you got this far down my message, you must know me or are really bored. If this in some way gets at you... leave me your thoughts. And, if your serious then do something about it.

I think a lot of people can sadly relate to this. We have all been hurt by people at some point in our lives to where we want to show forgiveness but at the same time, you have to stand up for yourself too.

The kind of friends/loved ones you are looking for are hard to come by, but they do exist! God will do the fighting for you but he will give us wisdom to know how to handle these situations. I've been in a lot of situations where I have asked myself, "When is enough, enough?" But when you find people who are loyal and love you, then you don't have to say-"I've had enough", b/c true friends and loved ones can work out these things to make the relationship stronger and not weaker.

All this goes to show our human-ness and the fact that we are in need of Jesus b/c only he can truly satisfy. He is the only one who won't let us down. But I definetly understand the frustration as I too, have often asked myself the same questions as you have in this blog.
