Establishing a new track record takes time! One of the biggest mistakes people make in rebuilding trust is either assuming they never can rebuild trust or expressing frustration at how long it takes. When we complain about the process, we end up minimizing the hurt we caused those with whom we are needing to rebuild trust.
What matters more to you and I than our relationship with Jesus is what will lead us away from Jesus. If we are not careful, we can embrace the same mindset as the Pharisees and think that others are the ones that sin and that are somehow we have earned/deserved God’s favor and blessing. Even the church still needs to come to and follow Jesus!
