Feeling Like You Have Been Used?

Few wounds cut as deeply as the realization that someone took advantage of you. Maybe a friend leaned on your kindness only to disappear when you needed them most. Perhaps a coworker took credit for your hard work, or someone you trusted treated your generosity as a tool for their own gain. That sting of betrayal lingers, leaving you questioning your own judgment and wondering if your goodness was a mistake. If you feel used today, please know your pain is real, and God sees every bit of it.
