Yes, getting hurt is not fun. It is sad there is not some way to guarantee not getting hurt, but when we love I guess we become vulnerable, and then there is the possibility of getting hurt. We take a chance. It is a risk. There is a saying, "nothing ventured, nothing gained." So it is a gamble, and we must take some gambles. If we gamble and lose we have to trust the Lord to help us, and heal us. You are right, Crisi, about getting hurt over and over. We don't know what that other person is like, but God does know.
