Trusting One Another

Phil. 4:4-9

It is easy to believe and accept the wrong comments about a brother or sister, even one’s spouse. The devil sows the suspicion to defile every human relationship. But in a family, the husband and wife should live such a transparent life that it is made easier to trust one another. When one party hears a rumor about his or her spouse, it is necessary to immediately discuss and iron things out. Do not let issues that can cause suspicion pile up between you and your spouse. Each party in the relationship should learn that trust is earned and not given. Do not do anything that will destroy the trust your spouse reposes in you. Once you break the trust, it is more difficult to earn the trust of your spouse again. Areas where trust is easily broken are sexual fidelity, financial truthfulness, commitment to the welfare of your spouse; etc. When one party offends the other, the offended party should not close the door of trust permanently. Give room for reconciliation.

 

Point of Emphasis: Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Prayer Point: Holy Spirit, help repair the homes where trust has broken down.
