Have you noticed that in most popular music trust or mistrust is usually the topic? False trust can be the main focus. Perhaps the reason for the popularity of this issue is the human need to be loved and trusted.
False trust has the capability to convince the unsuspecting that love and acceptance exist when in reality, they don’t. Satan used his talent to convince Adam and Eve that he was trustworthy and what he had to say was pure truth.
False trust is powerful and convincing when combined with promises of accountability. Genesis 4 describes how Cain lured his brother Abel to an isolated place and murdered him. Cain made use of false trust for selfish purposes. God never intended for false trust to invade human relationships, but rather for truth and honesty to dominate.

Most people will tell you what loyal friends they are, but are they telling you the truth?
~Proverbs 20:6 The Living Bible
We have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.
~2
Corinthians 4:2 New International Version
