Why Should I Trust Again?
I concluded a conversation not long ago with a young man who is currently attending college that really sparked my thought tank. He was in a relationship with a young lady who he'd met there last semester. He feels as though the amount of time, effort and affection that he had invested in the relationship was not honored by this young lady. He says the young lady wants to continue in the relationship but she had been hurt in her past from several relationships. She asked him this question: Why should I trust someone again? The young man says that if could come up with an intelligent enough answer she may be willing to ration some of her trust to him. I am not an expert but many people think that I am because I learned how to be a good listener. I hope the experts or the over comers of this barrier will pour in some advice to this post. Thanks and God bless

Why should she trust again? Her past is the cause to her lack of trust, therefore she needs to compare the past to the future relationship. Then ask herself "Is my current relationship the same as the past one?", if she notice the difference in the effort and affections that he is giving then she need to take a step and open up step by step for this young man, who is pouring out his heart. Why she should trust again? Her trusting in him brings confidence into the relationship. Confidence lifts your spirits and helps carry the relationship. From Your Sister in Christ.
ReplyDeleteThank you my sister. I agree with you in comparing the past with the current. Yes, trust brings confidence and continues to fortify that relationship as it grows. I believe your comments will help this young man who is in pursuit of a well-balanced relationship. Please feel free to add comments in the future, as this is a developing process. You have been a blessing.
