1 Corinthians 13:7, Charity Believeth All Things (1)
Biblical love is not distrustful but is fully trusting. Such a love is not sceptical, doubtful or suspicious but gives the other person the benefit of the doubt. Charity assumes the best motive and therefore gives the unbridled trust. We cannot read motives and do not profess we can. Therefore, charity assumes the others we come in contact with have good intentions. You may ask, isn’t this very gullible? It is not! But it is an approach that builds trust. The flip side of this Christian grace would be being scornful and cynical. It builds distrust and suspicion.
