Trust Worthy

TRUST WORTHY

Loyalty is a precious quality that we have almost lost sight of today. Instead of loyalty, almost everyone talks about freedom, especially in relationships. The idea is that if two people come together in freedom, each can walk out of the arrangement. This is supposed to be a complete safeguard against unhappiness. But even where both are free to walk out – where there are no obligations, no bonds, not even any ties – they go on doing this over and over and do not acquire the capacity to love. Without loyalty, it simply is not possible to love deeply. JOHN DONNE left us with, “Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.”

“Is it true that without loyalty it is impossible to love deeply?"

This reminded me that my lack of trust and the feeling of not being worthy goes a long way back. It had roots planted in my early years and it took a lot of time to uproot them.

This looks like unconditional love. In Jamie Sams's book the Dog is the symbol of Loyalty. No matter how they are treated, they remain loyal to their master.

I prefer to think of it as the dog/god syndrome. Loyal to my God and who He would have me be in today. Divine Orderly Good from a Group of Drunks and Drug Addicts.

Trust has to be earned.
