The hurt of a perceived betrayal. It may come in an act or circumstance that you wouldn't expect. It feels like disloyalty from the other party. There are certain expectations that come with any friendship or relationship. Sometimes relationships can be uneven, that is, in the end, you've given more than you've gotten. That is where the hurt comes in. And that can test the strength of your character.
Most of us want the friend that sticks closer than a brother. Those are hard to come by and humanly speaking, maybe even impossible. The best we do is to be that kind of a friend and hope for reciprocation, knowing that people make mistakes and keep a heart full of forgiveness always ready. To err is human, to forgive divine is the old Alexander Pope platitude, and sometimes it really does take help from the Lord to forgive the human errors that come against our person and our hearts.
A friend loveth at all times. Proverbs 17:17
