Trust
Sometimes I wonder why there isn't more Trust among friends. Maybe it's because to receive Trust, you have to earn it. And to earn Trust you have to be entrusted with something. And we can't really go around handing out Trust-chances like pieces of candy to hungry children.
Because Trusting something leaves us vulnerable. And Vulnerability must be avoided at all costs. The fear of Vulnerability makes us nervous. When we are nervous, we are quick to doubt. When we doubt, we are quick to judge. When we judge, we are quick to condemn.
Condemnation leaves no room for the benefit of the doubt. There is no room for understanding. There is no room for Grace.
Grace
Giving people another chance. Having the Grace to look at things differently. Forgiveness...Without Cause.
If we could Trust, and be Trusted...if we received Grace and gave it... how beautiful friendship could be. How beautiful it would be....to be Vulnerable.....and find
Security
