Can I really trust anyone after what my family member did to me?

Question

TheoQA Christian Guidance · Accepted Answer

Trust is a fundamental aspect of any relationship, including our relationship with God. When we experience betrayal or hurt from someone close to us, it can be challenging to trust others again. However, it's essential to understand that our ability to trust others is not solely dependent on the actions of others, but also on our own understanding of God's character and our relationship with Him.

The Bible teaches us that God is faithful and trustworthy (Psalm 89:33-34, Psalm 119:91). He is the one who has given us the gift of salvation and has promised to be with us always (Matthew 28:20). Our trust in God is not based on human relationships or circumstances, but on His character and promises. When we experience hurt or betrayal, it's essential to remember that God is still trustworthy, even if others are not.

As we navigate our relationships with others, it's crucial to understand that trust is something that is earned over time. We cannot expect others to be trustworthy simply because we are Christians. Instead, we must work to build trust through our actions and words. However, our trust in God is not something that needs to be earned. He is trustworthy by His very nature, and we can rely on Him regardless of our circumstances. As we seek to build trust with others, let us remember to anchor our trust in God's character and promises, and not solely on human relationships. This will give us the strength and confidence to navigate even the most challenging situations with faith and trust. (Psalm 37:3-7)
