Luke 14:12-24

What do you do when you've invested yourself in a relationship. They signal that they'll be there for you, that you can count on them, they are on board with your project.

And then.....

Just when it counts the most, they are a NO SHOW. They give you a lame excuse. They prove that you are not as important to them as they acted like you were.

What then???

What do you do with your wounded love?
