You’ve been hurt and vow to never be hurt like that again. While this decision seems to make sense, it is no way to live. You tell yourself “no one can be trusted.” This is a lie and will not serve you. Others can be trusted. Even those who have failed you can be trusted again. You can use discernment to decide who is trustworthy and who is not. You can make good choices so that you have healthy, trusting relationships in the future. Have you made grand decisions to never trust again? Allow God to heal your heart and make wise decisions in the future.
