Trust might be established by one big event. You plan a big birthday party for a coworker, and a bond of trust might form.

Usually, trust is built over a hundred small actions rather than one big moment.

Think of the people who are closest to you. Your trust was developed when they remembered your birthday or favorite snack. Those people showed up to support you when others forgot. They message when they sense something is wrong. They care about your well-being and are not afraid to ask hard questions. Those are the people you trust the most.

This week, God has given you the opportunity to grow your relationship with the people around you. Commit to doing the small things that build trust and connection. Growing a strong friendship often takes only a few minutes here and there to show that you truly care.
