Judas

 From God's Grace

Judas is a reminder that betrayal

does not always come from

strangers.

Sometimes it comes from people who

sat at your table, heard your prayers,

knew your struggles, and still chose

to hurt you.

Jesus shared meals with Judas.

Walked beside him.

Trusted him.

Loved him.

Yet Judas still betrayed Him with a

kiss.

That is why some of the deepest pain

in life comes from those we never

expected to wound us.

The ones we welcomed into our lives.

The ones we prayed with and cared

for.

The ones we believed would always

be loyal.

But even in betrayal, God is still

sovereign.

What hurt you did not surprise Him.

What broke your heart did not escape

His notice.

And just as God carried Jesus

through betrayal, He will carry you

too.

Do not let betrayal harden your heart.

Let it make you wiser, stronger, and

more dependent on God.

Because people may fail you, but the

Lord never will.

"He heals the brokenhearted and

binds up their wounds."

~Psalm 147:3
