Trust

Trust is important in every kind of relationship whether it's business or personal. When someone breaks that trust, it's very hard to get it back. My view of it all, trust is earned not given. For example, if I do something stupid and cause a friend of mine to lose trust or confidence in me, I would do everything in my power to get that back. Since I'm a writer, I tend to use that skill in order to bring people back to me. I'm a better communicator on paper than I am talking out loud. So I write letters or poem to the people I've hurt so that they may see how sorry I am for hurting them and wish to start over.
When two people become friends, they must build trust before an "official friendship" begins, right? You learn about each other's likes and dislikes and pet-peeves. You try to remember all those especially if a birthday comes up. If someone wanted to be my friend and they knew my favorite candy is Skittles then giving me a king size bag for my birthday would MAKE MY DAY! This is the beginning of love/trust/commitment in a sense. It doesn't even have to involve money. It could be just being there when the other person needs a shoulder or a listening ear. Maybe you scored concert tickets from someone who was giving them away and it happens to be a favorite band or team.
Once you begin to trust someone. Love isn't far behind and I don't mean the "I will love you until the day I die" kind. I mean the kind of love that puts the other person's feelings first and wanting to do whatever it takes to see the other smile.
A lot of people don't like the Bible because it's old and "out dated." I will agree with them up to a point. So many practical lessons can be learned from this dusty book. "4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." I Corinthians chapter 13: 4 - 7
This is real love and real trust is just the beginning.
When I trust someone, seriously trust, I tend to hold nothing back. I love going all out on my friends' birthdays and Christmas and enjoy being there for them. Of course, when it comes to "no secrets," it's very hard to not want to hold the bad things back. Honestly, I can't wait to feel like I don't have to hide anything and to be free to love.
Trust is the rock of every relationship and it needs to be solid less it crumble. It's takes two people to build it and both need to come to agreements and be willing to work at it equally.
