In this episode of the Double Edged Sword Podcast Father Genard dives into rebuilding trust after betrayal.
The word “Trust” is very important to us and applies to everything in our daily lives from our alarm clocks to individuals around us. When we believe in God we Trust in His power, wisdom, promises…
When your alarm clock fails to sound, you lose trust in that alarm clock because it failed you. What about when you trust in a person and that person betrays you? Do you attempt to rebuild trust?
Have you betrayed God today? (Not praying, not offering your fast, not reading Holy Scriptures, Using the Lords name in vain…) but Jesus is always ready to rebuild that relationship with us.
How must we reconcile with one another if there is no communication? We must communicate with one another to sympathize with the weakness and imperfection of mankind
5 steps to rebuilding trust:
Step 1: Communicate
Step 2: Help one another
Step 3: Discipline the person
Step 4: Monitor and reevaluate
Step 5: Pray and pray continuously for committing that person to the mercy of God
