O God, don’t stay away.It seems like sometimes people come out of the woodwork to do us harm. We are enjoying our lives and someone will come and be our friends for a while and suddenly turn on us and do us harm.
My God, please hurry to help me.
Bring disgrace and destruction on my accusers.
Humiliate and shame those who want to harm me.
But I will keep on hoping for your help;
I will praise you more and more.
(Psalm 71:12-14)
And the question is why?
Why did they decided to become a friend in the first place and why they decided to turn on us in the second. Why go to all that bother for people who basically are not that important in the grand scheme of things?
It gets old after a while. It also makes you wary of people who want to be your friend.
I am a Pollyanna type of person. I tend to trust people and believe them. it is a stupid trait of mine but it is real. So that makes me an even bigger target of people who want to hurt us.
But I cannot for the life of me figure out why. It has gone on our entire lives. Someone will come and invest themselves in our ministry, then for some reason turn. They will profess friendship and then do something to hurt us.
And I just do not understand why. I am not that kind of person. But I seem to attract that kind of people. It has been so ever since I began ministry and it was far worse since I came into the Pentecostal church.
That was a bad idea, and another whole story in itself.
But why do we attract people like this? I just cannot figure it out.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
