How Do You Trust Again?

What happens when you've trusted someone...and they broke that trust?Maybe they lied.Maybe they disappointed you.Maybe they said one thing and did another.Maybe you gave someone access to your heart, and they mishandled it.And now you find yourself thinking:"I don't trust people anymore."Maybe you don't even realize how much that experience changed you.You became more guarded.You question people's motives.You look for the other shoe to drop.You keep people at a distance.And part of you thinks that's wisdom.But I want you to ask yourself something: Is this discernment... or is this protection?Because there's a difference between learning from what happened and allowing what happened to control every relationship that comes after it.You don't have to become naïve again.You can have boundaries.You can take your time.You can watch someone's consistency.You can pay attention to patterns.You can listen to your intuition.You can pray.But you don't have to build a wall around your heart and call it healing. Sometimes healing means learning how to trust wisely again. And that includes learning to trust yourself. Because maybe one of the people you stopped trusting was you."How did I not see it?""Why did I stay?""Why did I believe them?"Beautiful, you know more now than you knew then. Let that matter.

This week, I want you to think about the difference between walls and boundaries. Where have you built a wall because somebody hurt you?And what might it look like to replace that wall with wisdom?#brokentrust #disappointed #woundedheart #woundedsoul #anewyou #exposeit #learningtotrustagain
