Part 5: Winning Confidence

Trust is built through compassion. Winning the confidence of others cannot be forced or manipulated, but it is built through non-manipulative, caring love. It often happens in everyday little things. Doing something specifically to try to “make someone trust you” not only won’t work, but is counterproductive. People can smell hidden agendas a mile away. To gain trust, you must simply be trustworthy, and that comes only from your own close relationship with God, which causes you to love those around you.
