Betrayal of Trust
If you are one of the few people who have never experienced betrayal from someone you greatly trusted you have been spared great pain. Betrayal is not a pleasant experience in any sense of the word and it brings many negative consequences that many people may never overcome in their entire life. Unless people seek help to heal, mainly from God or a knowledgeable godly counselor, people will go through life damaged and carrying bitterness, anger, resentfulness and may always be distrusting because they never want to be put in that vulnerable position again. But by the same token, deciding not to forgive and overcome this hurtful experience also carries devastating consequences that carry over into eternity. It also causes people to live on the defensive and miss out on many benefits, among them are peace of mind, better spiritual, emotional and physical health and better relationships.
