Philippians 2:5 In your relationships with one another have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.
Philippians 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!
Trust: A FEELING of security or confidence in another person.
Your feelings of trust don’t come from just what you KNOW, but rather from what you decide to THINK about what you know.
Your “Trust Picture” (what you think of others) is NOT necessarily the same as who they ARE.
Judges 16:6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
You don’t trust someone based on what they SAY. You trust someone based on their ACTIONS.
While “blind love” can be DEVASTATING in dating, it can actually be an ASSET in a marriage.
WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR SPOUSE: Do you focus on all the POSITIVES or NEGATIVES?
I Corinthians 13:7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
I Peter 5:8 NLT Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
I Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
HOW DO YOU REBUILD TRUST?
1. Realize TRUST and FORGIVENESS are not the same.
With a deep break in trust, spouses often WITHHOLD FORGIVENESS because they think it means they must immediately TRUST AGAIN.
That’s not true, and it damages the rebuilding process. FORGIVE!
FOR THE SPOUSE WHO HAS BROKEN TRUST:
1. It’s likely you’re going to want things to get back to “NORMAL” before your spouse is ready.
2. You’ll often want trust to be given without SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES to the relationship.
WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DON’T KNOW YOUR SPOUSE YOU
NEED 2 THINGS: They need more TIME—and more TRANSPARENCY
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose.
SINGLE:
- Spend TIME evaluating if you can really trust someone. Don’t just listen to someone’s WORDS, you watch their ACTIONS.
MARRIED (without a big break in trust):
- Begin the habit of always ASSUMING THE BEST about your spouse.
MARRIED (with a big break in trust):
- FORGIVE
- Begin the process of REBUILDING TRUST.
