When someone’s past words or actions leave you hurt and guarded, do you find yourself expecting the worst? It’s a hard habit to break, and it can wear on the relationships that matter most.
Janet and Leah examine where the idea of assuming the best comes from and what Scripture teaches about loving others when you can’t know their motives. They discuss why our trust belongs in God rather than people and why only He knows the human heart. Listeners are encouraged to love with wisdom and grace, resting in Christ, who has already loved us and covered our sin.
