TOO MUCH TRUST

Trust - a feeling of confidence in someone that shows you believe they are honest, fair, and reliable.

A common word yet its hard to live it up. Up to what extent we have to give our trust? How can we know that this person is trustworthy or not? Is there a way we can shield our selves from getting hurt. Or it is right not to trust anymore.

Just now on the office my trusting ability was tested. We had this new hired employee and I already proceeded all the visa application stages for him, then he told me to hold his application because there is new company who is willing to issue visa for him and they will put up new project here in UAE once he come back from his country and it will give benefit to our company as well, he even told me that he already talked to my boss. Of course I hold on to his word and I admit it's my fault not to inform the boss right away. So when the boss asked the update he got angry because I never informed him before. He said to me not to trust anyone, even they told me that the boss already knew I should still verified that to him.. So when I get back to this new employee he told me that they never clearly discussed this matter and he wants to precede the application again. That's where I get upset, he does not even think what that problem caused me, I was the one who blamed for trusting too much.

That’s the time God reminded me not to trust man too much. It is clearly written to His word in Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.. Too much trust not only will put you in danger but it can kill you.

I have given too much trust and been betrayed as well so many times but never I'd learned my lesson because I still believed that there are still few who are capable of valuing the trust I have for them but this time around I'll be very much careful. Its good to trust people but we must put more rather all of our trust to Someone who is worthy and capable of keeping that trust till the end and that is no one else but God.
