When Betrayal Hits Home: The Story We Never Thought We’d Share
When Deception and Betrayal Infiltrate Your Home
We never thought we’d be telling this story.
Betrayal has a way of cutting deeper than almost any other wound. It doesn’t just hurt; it shakes your sense of trust, security, and even identity.
When betrayal hit our home, it felt like the floor fell out beneath us. The questions came fast:
How did this happen?
How didn’t we see this coming?
Can things ever be whole again?
Will we be able to trust again?
Maybe you’ve been there too. Maybe someone you trusted let you down in a way you never thought possible.
And while we wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone, we’ve learned this: betrayal doesn’t get the final word.
With God, brokenness can become the launchpad for your assignment.
The Enemy Tries to Break You.
God Uses It to Build You
Looking back, we see how the enemy tried to use betrayal to destroy us. To steal trust. To sow bitterness. To make us question whether the vision God gave us could even move forward.
But what the enemy intends for destruction, God can transform into destiny.
The pain didn’t disappear overnight. The healing took time. But slowly, God began to redeem what had been shattered. And in the process, He gave us a new assignment… to share openly what we once thought we’d keep hidden.
What to Remember When Betrayal Hits
If you’re navigating betrayal, here are a few truths we’ve held onto:
1. Betrayal isn’t the end of your story.
Even Jesus was betrayed, yet it became the pathway to the greatest redemption in history. Don’t mistake pain for finality.
2. Healing is a process, not a performance.
You don’t have to “bounce back” quickly. God isn’t rushing you. He’s walking with you. Forgive quickly, grieve slowly.
3. Your trust can be rebuilt… first in God, then in people.
The enemy wants betrayal to harden your heart. But God can soften it again, restoring both discernment and hope.
4. God can use even this.
It might not make sense now. But one day, you may look back and see how this very wound became the place God worked most powerfully.

If you’ve been betrayed, know this: you are not alone.
Your pain matters. Your tears matter. And most importantly, your story isn’t over.
What feels like the breaking point might just be the beginning of God’s redemptive work.

You’re being multiplied. Even here. Even now.
