TRUST/BETRAYAL

Matthew 10:4
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

This is one of the worst thing anyone could do. To earn a trust takes time, to destroy it however, takes a shorter time.

"Whether a friendship, family relationship, or business or personal partnership, any bond is built on trust. Without trust, you have nothing. With it, you can do great things. Think about it." Lolly Dascal

Today we see a lot of betrayal in the church, work places, families, business partners, friends and in politics. One major cause is selfishness wanting to satisfy our self, lust after a desired pleasure, money or power. It is a high level of foolishness which never goes unpunished. IT SHOULD NOT NE KNOWN Amongst BELIEVERS?!

Mark 14:21
The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

Matthew 24:10
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

What do we gain by breaking trust? (betrayal). Broken marriages, cursed businesses, families full of strife, churches where God is not King, evil rulers and abased work places.

"It is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest, that holds human associations together." --H. L. Mencken

The question we must ask ourselves is: What am I giving in exchange for this trust?  Is it worth it. Can I afford to destroy it? Remembering that you may never get it back!

May the Lord help us remain faithful,  to speak the truth to those we have trust bonds with and to be loyal.

We will not err, we are correctable, we can keep trust,  WE ARE BLESSED?!

Love
@ the watcher
