Betrayed
Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2010 12:06 amIt was finally here - Anna's wedding day, the day she had dreamed about and planned for months. The small, picturesque church was crowded with friends and family. Sunlight poured through the stained-glass windows, and the gentle music of a stringed quartet filled the air. Anna walked down the aisle toward David. Joy surged within her. This was the moment for which she had waited so long. He gently took her hand, and they turned toward the altar.
But as the minister began to lead Anna and David through their vows, the unthinkable happened. A girl stood up in the middle of the congregation, walked quietly to the altar, and took David's other hand. Another girl approached and stood next to the first, followed by another. Soon, a chain of six girls stood by him as he repeated his vows to Anna.
Anna felt her lip beginning to quiver as tears welled up in her eyes. "Is this some kind of joke?" she whispered to David.
"I'm... I'm sorry, Anna, " he said, staring at the floor.
"Who are these girls, David? What is going on?" she gasped.
"They are girls from my past," he answered sadly. "Anna, they don't mean anything to me now... but I've given part of my heart to each of them."
"I thought your heart was mine," she siad.
"It is, it is, " he pleaded. "Everything that's left is yours."
A tear rolled Anna's cheek. Then she woke up.
J.H.
The dream of Anna was indeed a betrayal. Based on the storry consider the following questions:
1. How many men/women could line up on my wedding day?
2. How many times have i given my heart away in short-term relationships?
3. Will i have anything left to give my husband/wife?
4. Think about the girls/boys in your past. What if they showed up on your wedding day? What could they say in the receiving line? "Hello, dear. Those are the lofty promises you made at the altar today. I hope you're better at keeping promises now than you were when i knew you." Wow, don't you look nice in that tuxedo. And what a beautiful bride. Does she know about me? Have you told her all the sweet things you used to whisper in MY ear?
I have past relationship, too and as i look back it is full of regret. It didn't work because of other party. it always haunts on my mind and it seems i can not forget even i do my best to forget, it is because i was and is true to him. I know that God can forgive us for our shortterm relationship as others view it as a game of love that everyone plays. yes, i still believe that those men who did play, women too, feel the ache of having given away their hearts to the many women/men in their past.

I didnt dO anything tO figure Out that he is betraying me, its just that happened and the situatiOn is shOwing me aLready. I was really hurt by that time, I cried, cried and cried.. 
I am sO much prObLematic at that time. But One night, I was tOuched by a friend by what she have tOLd me. She said, OnLy the LOve Of the LOrd never Leave and never betrayed us. Just a simpLe sentence but have tOuched me sO immenseLy. On that night, I prayed tO the LOrd and never think Of that persOn, I cOnsecrate my whOLe being tO Him and I cried. I get mad at Him at first, why did He permitted sOmeOne tO betrayed me tO the pOint that I had LOse all the hOpe that I have in Life. But as times passing by, I had reaLized that the LOrd just did it in Order fOr me tO be a strOng perOn as what I am nOw. 
In the future I will Learn..
