Betrayal: When Loyalty Becomes a Scar

Let’s talk about betrayal, because, honestly, nothing cuts deeper than being hurt by someone you trusted.

Imagine being in a relationship for six solid years, thinking you’ve found your person, only for them to call you one day and casually drop the bombshell.

"I got someone else pregnant, but hey, here’s some money for your troubles."

Just like that, the dreams, the late-night calls, the promises, it all crumbles. 

My friend lived this reality. 

While she prayed, hoped, and envisioned a forever with him, he was out there building a different future without her.

How do you even begin to process that level of betrayal? If not for God, how does one cope with such heartbreak?

The truth is, many people enter relationships, friendships, and even business partnerships without clearly defining what they truly want. 

They go with the flow, say sweet things, make promises, and then, when circumstances change, they switch up. 

That’s why it’s important to seek clarity. 

If you know you're not ready for commitment, say so. If loyalty isn’t your thing, don’t pretend it is. If you don’t mean your words, don’t say them.

Betrayal isn’t just about love and relationships, it sneaks into workplaces too.

Recently, a lady I know left her job, believing she had built a genuine friendship with a colleague, only for that same person to start spreading private things she had shared in confidence. 

Why? Just to tarnish her name and score cheap points with the bosses and other colleagues.

Betrayal is a silent killer.

It ruins relationships, destroys trust, and leaves lasting scars on people’s mental health. 

Do you know how much strength it takes to trust again after being backstabbed?

How difficult it is to believe in love again after being used?

Betrayal turns friends into strangers, lovers into enemies, and business partners into competitors.

It’s no surprise that the world feels colder these days, because many people have learned the hard way that loyalty isn’t always reciprocated.

At the end of the day, one lesson stands out, trusting humans blindly is risky. 

People change. Situations change. But God? God remains constant.

Make God and the Holy Spirit your best friends. 

Let them guide your decisions, your friendships, and your relationships.

Learn to guard your heart. Share your deepest secrets with caution. Be kind, but don’t be naive.

And most importantly, be the kind of person you want others to be to you. 

The world already has enough betrayals, so don’t add to the list.

Have a great day today 💞
