IS TRUE LOVE POSSIBLE?




“I just can’t trust anyone, they are all the same…” my friend said while in pain. Her story sounded tragic, and it’s a re-occurring incident with her – an ex-boyfriend, whom she thought she could trust, started spreading rumors about her as soon as they ended the relationship.

I couldn’t find the right words to comfort her. One thing I do know is... how difficult it is to find someone to trust, someone that is simply kind… expecting nothing in return. Her story reminded of moments when I had betrayed the trust of others as well as when I was at the receiving end of a betrayal.

It is very easy to find people who will assure you of their loyalty but when trials come, they fail. Solomon wrote, “Most men will proclaim their own goodness; but who can find a faithful man?” – Prov 20:6

Jesus made true love possible – by love shall all men know that you are my disciples (John 13:35). Though some people may continue to hurt us, we reciprocate their hurt with more love.

With our hearts fixated at His love, we find loving others easy.
