The joy of being trusted is one of the holiest experiences that can come to any human heart. We do not understand the sweetest privilege of friendship until in some hour of need or weakness or sorrow our friend trust us absolutely, leans upon us, as it were puts his very life into our hand. The opposite of this is the pain of not being trusted. It may not be through any lack of love, or lack of confidence in our character or strength, but only through fear; yet the failure of a friend to trust us, whatever the cause, hurts our heart.
