8-22am
I don’t know why I started thinking of the importance of trust this morning. I think it is one of those things that we mostly take for granted as it subtly impacts our lives each and every day. It is only when it is broken, that it or the pain of the lack of it rises above the surface in a leviathan of an ugly way. You suddenly realise how important it is…and how fragile.
I remember being in a highly trusted position, where my trust and integrity were never questioned. Suddenly there was a big change of people in that organisation…and the new people didn’t know me. It came as a unpleasant surprise to have them view me with suspicion; they questioned my motives and – they didn’t seem to trust me. My only solution was to keep going. I just had to do what I had always done. I have nothing to hide. I believe I am trustworthy. I try not to have ulterior motives!
But what if trust is broken due to betrayal? The process to healing can be very long. There needs to be repentance, forgiveness & restitution. Then there has to be a regaining of trust…one day at a time.
Work hard at maintaining your trustworthiness. Be above reproach. When trust is lost, it can be found. If trust is broken, it can be repaired.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God bless you loads!
