Backstabbing

I for one can tell you what it's like to be backstabbed over and over again. I've been stabbed in the back by people who one would least expect it from. I've also been stabbed in the back by some of the best backstabbers that there is. I suspect being Bi-Polar & Manic most of the time has left me open to being stabbed in the back a whole bunch. It's kind of hard to watch your back when your on a Manic trip.

I know that there are many, many others like me out there that have been stabbed in the back over and over again. As I was lying in bed this evening I felt God wanting me to go through the book of Proverbs & see what God has to say about those that stab others in the back. I hope & pray as you read this you too see a pattern develop and I hope it helps in some small way.

Be Blessed with what I've found!
