“It always protects, always trusts…” (1 Corinthians 13:7)
The thirteenth characteristic of Love is that it always trusts. The opposite of trust is suspicion. When you love someone, you’re not quick to suspect or write them off. The Amplified Bible renders it this way: love is ever ready to believe the best of every person.
Every strong relationship is anchored on trust. When trust disintegrates, love is shattered. You mostly have a choice: either to believe the best of people or their worst. Love chooses the former. And when we feel trusted, we feel loved. On the contrary, our hearts are darkened when we fill them with negative perceptions about people.
Someone said, “Do not explain yourself because those who love you don’t need it, and those who hate you won’t believe it.”
The trust of love doesn’t mean it refrains from vigilance and discernment. Neither does it imply being gullible and overlooking warning signs of danger. It only means that unless convinced otherwise, love will always believe well in others.
May God help us to build trust in our relationships with the people we love.
Remain inspired!
