Without trust, no relationship can be truly formed. You distance yourself from those with whom you have lost trust. You’re not sure that they will act with good will and integrity toward you. Without confidence that one will remain faithful and not disclose your inner most feelings, will not squelch what you share, you will not trust them. And no relationship can flourish in that uncertain environment. In whom do you trust? Are there any in your presence that you know will be there for you in all and any circumstances? There are few who can be trusted to this degree. Guard then your heart, and do not let the evil one trample on your soul, on your goodness. Trust in the Lord, with Whom all Goodness resides and reigns. I will not fail you nor abandon you. You are My beloved child, and we cannot be separated.
