Broken trust is one of life’s deepest wounds. Whether it comes from a partner, friend, family member, or even a fellow believer, betrayal leaves a lasting mark on our hearts. But in The Way to the Cross, Beatrice Lecheko reminds us that broken trust doesn’t have to define us — it can refine us.
When Trust Shatters
The pain of betrayal often triggers questions: “Why did this happen?” “How could they do this to me?” “Will I ever trust again?” These questions are natural. Betrayal cuts at the core of our sense of safety and worth. But as Beatrice shares from her own life, those shattered pieces can become the building blocks for a stronger, deeper faith.
She explains how seasons of disappointment — including heartbreak in her own marriage — forced her to lean fully on God. In that place of vulnerability, she discovered a deeper level of intimacy with Him. What felt like the end was actually the beginning of a new, stronger foundation.
Letting God Heal the Wounds
Healing after betrayal isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s about acknowledging the pain and allowing God to meet you there. When we invite Him into our wounds, He begins the process of restoration. Slowly but surely, the anger fades, the bitterness loosens its grip, and peace starts to take root.
Healing doesn’t mean rushing to trust again right away. It means learning to trust God again — trusting that He will protect your heart, guide your decisions, and lead you into relationships that align with His purpose. As Beatrice beautifully writes, “God’s grace meets us in our brokenness and leads us into freedom.”
Learning to Trust Again
Trust is like a muscle — once it’s broken, it takes time and intentional effort to rebuild. Start small. Trust God with your future, your relationships, and your healing. Then, as He restores your confidence, you’ll find it easier to open your heart again without fear.
And here’s a powerful truth: what the enemy meant for harm, God can use for good. Every tear you’ve cried is watering the seeds of a stronger, wiser version of you. Every disappointment is preparing you for deeper joy.
A Testimony, Not a Tragedy
Beatrice’s story is proof that betrayal is not the end of your story — it’s the soil where your testimony grows. The very pain that once felt unbearable can become a source of encouragement for others who are walking the same road.
If you’re in a season of broken trust, hold on. Healing takes time, but it’s possible. And on the other side of this journey is a version of you that is stronger, braver, and more anchored in God’s love than ever before.
