Lisa and Jill—best friends since second grade. At sixteen, Lisa told Jill something she had never told anyone.
“Promise me you won’t tell.” “I promise.”
Four months later, in a fight, Jill told everyone. Lisa transferred schools. Fifteen years of silence.
A friend’s secret is not a weapon. It is a piece of their soul. Once you prove them wrong, you may never get to prove them right again.
SECRETS: S–Seems wrong. E–Even telling parents is scary. C–Can’t stop thinking. R–Responsibility too heavy. E–Everyone deserves safety. T–Telling is brave. S–Safety over silence.
Trust mirrors the trust between us and God—being seen fully and not rejected.
