Having trustworthy relationships are so very valuable. Without trust, a healthy relationship can not stand firm, and is at risk of dissolving. To prevent it from dissolving, you need to before hand, walk close to God and pray to God each day, and when situations like a relationship come up that you do not know how to handle, you can ask God for wisdom to know what to do or not to do.

One Thing About A Trustworthy Relationships Is That The Person Does Not Gossip. That Is A Sign That They Might Now Be Worthy To Be Considered Trustworthy. Be Careful Who You Share Your Heart With, Some People Do Not Know How To Be Trusted!

So many people wait until a problem or crisis comes up before they even think about praying.  A person needs to trust the other person and give them the benefit of the doubt, taking their words for face value (of course unless it is obvious that they are joking). Communication is so very valuable and respected. Also in a trustworthy relationship, it is good to see how the other person reacts to different situations, and how they talk and if they lose their temper or they often swear.  Some people play emotional mind games, or are two faced. Once you see some red flags, you need to guard your heart even more closely or consider setting boundaries. If that does not work, ending a relationship might need to be the final step. ~ Bill Greguska

Proverbs 4:23  Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
James 1:5  If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

NeedEncouragement.com started in 2007 after experiencing a painful divorce I did not want. My ex-wife and I were given wise marriage counseling by Pastor Ron Sauer and his wife, Sue. Ron is a professor of Greek at the Moody Bible Institute, and his wife, Sue Sauer, is a dedicated women’s counselor for Moody College students.

I hope my website can encourage you with all the information and lessons I have experienced to avoid the problems I have experienced, such as divorce, depression, anxiety, addiction, etc.

Most importantly, they pointed me to Jesus and His word from the Bible. I discovered that it is inevitable to avoid conflict in our lives altogether. Still, we can find solutions to learn from our mistakes and avoid some unnecessary heartaches and pain in the future.

  • When you ask someone, “How are you? Honestly, take the time to listen to their response.  See what is going on.
  • Relationships take time and effort. Even if it’s a phone call, a card, a meeting for coffee, or just an email or text saying I am thinking of you and praying for you today!
  • That can mean the world to someone to know they are not alone.
  • Life can throw a lot of pain and punches in people’s lives, some of their decisions, some entirely out of their control.
  • But either way, take time today to be a friend, that listening ear, a shoulder to lean on.
  • God can use us to bring hope and be a blessing in people’s lives one day. You may be the one on that receiving end. ~ Peg G

 

 

What Is Involved In Building Trustworthy Relationships?

 

Some Specific Scriptures To Encourage You:

Colossians 3:2 ESV

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Galatians 1:10 ESV 

For am I now seeking the approval of man or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Romans 8:5 ESV 

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 ESV 

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
