Cos I Trusted

 

One of the beautiful things that add colour to life is relationship; our relationships with family, friends, colleagues, generally, the people we come across. Our relationships become even more worthwhile when we commit ourselves and trust ourselves; what an excitement it is when we love. 

But unfortunately, within the walls of relationships, our trust and commitments are been abused.

The thoughts of a child…

I loved you, I trusted you;

I felt safe in your arms,

I gave you those bright eyes and beautiful smile to show that I appreciated and valued our relationship.

Whenever you came around, I gave you open arms and laughed at every tickle.

How would I have known you would do wrong to my body?

Why did you throw my love to the dogs?

Why did you smash my trust on the walls?

For my trust and love…

You robbed me of my pride;                                                  

My confidence;

My Joy;

My dreams and Hopes;

I even stopped loving myself…

“Sexual Abuse is a betrayal of a relationship that was once trustworthy. And real healing can only take place in the context of a relationship that is again safe, understanding and trustworthy” (Dan Gottlieb).

Have you been abused, or you know one who has been abused, there’s one relationship I can guarantee; it’s very safe, and healing lies therein; that relationship is with Jesus. Just take that first step of having a love life with Jesus; He will lead you through the process of healing and, eventually liberation. For others out there, don’t abuse the trust and love others have shown you… SHOW THEM LOVE TOO; build a relationship that is safe.
