Betrayal is one of life’s most painful experiences. It leaves us questioning trust, doubting ourselves, and struggling to forgive. But as Beatrice Lecheko shares in The Way to the Cross, betrayal is not the end — it’s often the beginning of a powerful transformation.
Understanding the Purpose of Betrayal
When Judas betrayed Jesus, it set the stage for the greatest act of love the world had ever seen. Without Judas, there would have been no cross, no resurrection, and no salvation. The same principle applies to our lives. The people who betray us — friends, family, even partners — may unknowingly push us toward the purpose God has for us.
Choosing Forgiveness Over Bitterness
Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the betrayal — it’s about freeing yourself from the prison of anger. Holding on to bitterness only prolongs your pain and blocks your blessings. Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting; it means trusting God to handle justice while you focus on healing.
Beatrice shares how she found peace after personal betrayal by surrendering her hurt to God. This act of release allowed her to move forward and walk boldly into her calling. You can do the same. Forgiveness is not weakness — it’s strength under control.
Embracing the Future
Instead of dwelling on the hurt, try to view betrayal through a different lens. Ask yourself: “How might this pain be part of God’s plan?” You might discover that what was meant to harm you is actually guiding you to something greater.
Once you let go of resentment, you make room for God’s restoration. He promises to give you beauty for ashes and joy for mourning. Every betrayal is a detour that can lead you closer to your destiny if you allow it.
