Trust is the foundation of every strong relationship—especially when we choose to love with God at the center. But trust can be difficult, especially after we’ve been hurt. Surrendering control means acknowledging that God’s plan is greater than our own. As Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Healing takes time. Psalm 147:3 reminds us, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Even though I’ve been deeply hurt, I once thought I was alone in this pain. But as I opened up, I realized others have walked this road, too. “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17). In this journey, that having a big heart is not a weakness. I used to think my heart was too big—vulnerable, too easy to hurt. But now I see it as a gift—one God can use to bring healing, hope, and connection.
Be aware of others feelings even as you guard your own heart. The world today is not the same—it’s easy to feel isolated or lost. But when we trust God, we build true hope. As Romans 15:13 says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
