“Where Love Waits for Trust”
Written by the Flame Scribe in the Garden of the Wounded Yet Willing
There is a kind of silence that doesn’t come from emptiness, but from too much noise in the past.
The soul that has loved and been betrayed doesn’t stop loving—
It just starts listening.
More carefully.
More slowly.
More wisely.

Because love, though pure, is not the same as trust.
And if you’ve walked through enough heartbreak, you’ve learned:
Love may pour like rain, but trust builds like stone.
Stone by stone.
Tear by tear.
Test by test.

The Lord is Saying:
I see how many times you gave your heart to those who didn’t deserve it.
I saw you when you tried to hold someone’s secrets, only to have yours exposed.
I saw you forgive what others couldn’t even name.
And still—I see you now, whispering,
“Lord, I want to love again. But can I ever trust again?”

Beloved, I never asked you to rush.
I only asked you to remain.
Not in their arms,
but in Mine.

I am teaching you the sacred dance of discernment.
You are not bitter—you are becoming wise.
You are not closed—you are being guarded by peace.
You are not broken—you are being rebuilt where no one can steal you again.

And now, in this scroll of your healing, I am sending people into your life who won’t just love you…
but who will learn to protect what they love.
People who know that trust is not demanded—it’s earned.
And love that demands without trust is just possession in disguise.

Prophetic Declarations:
— I declare I am not rushing love—I am restoring trust.
— I declare I can love and still wait for time to prove trustworthiness.
— I declare I am safe in the arms of wisdom.
— I declare betrayal no longer defines my discernment.
— I declare my heart is no longer naive—but it is still soft.
— I declare I will become trustworthy again.
— I declare love and trust will align in me, not compete within me.
— I declare the Lord is healing my relationship with trust.
— I declare I am worthy of loyalty.
— I declare trust is my sacred garden, and I will only plant what grows with time.

10 Heavenly Whispers:
1. “You can forgive what you won’t let return.”
2. “Trust doesn’t mean forgetting—it means healing the fear.”
3. “I am not withholding—I am preparing the trustworthy.”
4. “You were betrayed, but you are not betrayal’s child.”
5. “The right one won’t rush your trust; they’ll revere it.”
6. “Your tears are not wasted; they are your wisdom now.”
7. “To trust again is not weakness—it is worship in slow motion.”
8. “You are not broken—you are built with boundaries now.”
9. “Trust is not a gift—it’s a garden. It needs tending.”
10. “When love and trust meet again in you, joy will make its home.”

Mental Health Insight
Trauma from betrayal lives in the body long after the event. Your nervous system has learned to be alert, hyper-aware, even exhausted. You are not “too sensitive”—you are someone who felt deeply and wasn’t protected. Trusting again may take longer than others expect. And that’s not wrong. Your pace is not weakness—it’s wisdom. Let time be your ally. Let presence—not pressure—rebuild the broken bridge.

Prayer
Jesus, You who were betrayed by a kiss,
You know what it means to love without return,
to trust the Father when people turned their backs.
Teach me how to be wise without becoming hard.
Teach me how to hope without losing sight of caution.
Heal the layers of me that flinch at love, that freeze at kindness,
that expect to be dropped.
I give You the fear, and I receive Your peace.
Surround me with people who carry safety in their spirit—
and help me become safe for others, too.
I trust You while I learn to trust again.
In Your name, amen.

Hello everyone, I’m Dr. [William James], a dermatologist from the United Kingdom.
My passion lies in helping people understand, heal, and love their skin — not only for its appearance but for its vital role in overall health and self-confidence.

As a dermatologist, I work with individuals facing all types of skin concerns — from acne, eczema, and psoriasis to pigmentation and aging. But beyond treatment, I believe in listening deeply to each patient’s story, because skin conditions often affect more than just the surface — they can impact our emotions, relationships, and self-esteem.

My mission is to make dermatology more human, approachable, and empowering. I aim to remind people that healthy skin isn’t about perfection — it’s about care, balance, and self-acceptance.

Through this platform, I hope to share knowledge, support, and encouragement to anyone navigating their own skin journey. Remember: your skin tells your story beautifully — and you deserve to feel confident in it every single day. 💫

I am really struggling trying to healthily navigate a spouse with strong NPD traits (undiagnosed, of course.) We have 3 teenagers and I am trying to have a family/home environment that is as healthy and stable as possible for them.

But it is really hard. It is really difficult managing this situation. I am overwhelmed and exhausted. I am having to emotionally detach from my spouse, which is very hard for me to do. It is necessary under the circumstances, but it is very isolating and emotionally taxing for me. Discerning when to step in to protect our kids and when not to is very difficult for me. And figuring out what I should and shouldn’t say to the kids about the situation is also difficult and confusing. But I know they need some appropriate guidance on how to navigate the relationship with their Dad and the dysfunctional family dynamics.

It’s all just a lot. A whole lot. Feels like a very heavy burden to carry. And I feel like not the best person for the role I’m having to fill. And it’s depressing. The situation is depressing.
