Avoiding The Bursting Balloon!

I think that you would agree when it is said that when you have put your trust in someone and that trust has been broken, that it becomes very difficult to make yourself vunerable again to trust. Something happens inside us and in how we see those around us when we have had our trust broken that we feel almost a bit violated. We feel violated because we have allowed people to get inside us to know how we really feel about this or that.  This emotional sting is even intensified especially when those feelings have been shared in confidence. Keeping things deep inside without allowing them to be shared or talked about is one of the worst choices one can make. The reason is, that without really knowing what is happening, our bodies keep building up a continous increase of stress and pressure which for some results in a lot of emotional and physical aliments like, high blood pressure, sleepness nights,  a heart attack, stroke or possibly even death. It is hard to open up when you have been stung by a broken confidence, gossip or from various forms of rejection. To emphasize this point a bit farther, a Balloon can only handle so much air being forced inside it and if stretched beyond its limit, without warning , will bust with a mighty blast of release. We all need to have someone or a group in our life with whom we can truly trust and share those deep feelings that, if not released, could drive one over the edge. This is not an easy task as trust must truly be earned. In order to really be Trusting means you have to allow yourself to become vunerable again and yes it is risky because there is always that chance that another round of hurt could be lurking.  In the end, when you are open with God and tell him in conversation just how you really feel , You may find that God often  brings someone onto our path , who has a compassion for us and in whom we will truly connect and that bond is priceless. Trusting is risky business but necessary if we are to avoid the balloon experience of busting wide open after keeping so much inside. Just know, that God has said in the Bible, " Come to Me, all of you who labor and are weighted down and I will give you rest'! If you are willing to allow yourself to trust again, in the end you will not bust but find a realease that is refreshing like a warm ray of sunshine. and a peace that goes beyond our understanding!
