These are the best trust quotes for cynics you'll find online. Why? Because they show what a dead-end cynicism is.
Look, we've all been hurt. We've all been betrayed by someone we trusted. It happens to everyone, without exception.
How do you respond? Do you put up a wall around yourself, never letting anyone in for the rest of your life? Do you approach every person with a spirit of suspicion? Do you deliberately keep relationships shallow?
Instead of becoming cynical, we are commanded by the Bible to be discerning. In fact, when Solomon became king of Israel, he asked God to give him a "discerning heart." God was pleased with his request and granted it.
Discernment does not trust blindly. It relies on wisdom and the prompting of the Holy Spirit. It is, to repeat a trite phrase, "cautiously optimistic."
Our best trust quotes for cynics have this moral: Don't be cynical. Be discerning instead. That's the wisest way to live.
