I find it easier to love others because although I've been loved, I've also been very hurt...I think this has always made me feel as if I'm unworthy of being loved.
I know this isn't true, but it's been programmed in.
I think as a young Christian on fire at 15, satan used that exact feeling of unworthiness to draw me away from my relationship with God. Convinced me that my past(the sexual abuse and physical abuse) was something that made me so unworthy of serving God...of being loved because it was my fault. I didn't realize that none of us are truly worthy of His sacrifice, even though He thinks so.

We do not trust as much today as years ago because it goes with the territory,and inevitable that it will happen,and it cannot be avoided,or thwarted.
Ever since Adam and Eve sinned the world is heading towards rebellion against God,cutting Him out of the picture in the future kingdom,for people get worse in selfishness,arrogance,and self exaltation,as time goes on because that is the direction they are going,like a Christian should become more Christlike because that is the direction they are going.
At the last days perilous times will come for their behavior,and attitude,is worse than before it because that is the direction they are going,which they will be lovers of their own selves,which they will think highly of themselves,heady,and high minded,and promise breakers,and without natural affection,covetous,boasters,among other things,until it gets to the point where the transgressors are come to the full,then their kingdom that exalts people,and acknowledges no God,shall come about,because that is the direction they are going.
The last generation before God puts down the world,the children will not obey their parents,they will be pure in their own eyes,but not washed away from their filthiness,highly selfish,and highly arrogant,fierce towards each other,and will devour the poor from off the earth,and the needy from among men,which today they cannot get enough money,and even when rich still rip and gyp people,even the ones that made them rich.
And then along comes America and the way she operates,which is worldliness,and fleshy pleasures,and the pursuit of money,and material things,and freedom,and boom,it creates the most selfish,and arrogant people ever in the history of mankind that shines from sea to shining sea,in which the attitude became get all you can get and forget about everybody else,and people basically care about themselves with little regard for anyone else,so you do not care about me then I do not care about you,and they get worse.
Then the counterculture movement,do your own thing,be your own boss,have your own way,which was a selfish movement.
And then the new age movement and their interpretation of the Bible that exalts people,and is spiritual evolution through nature,which they believe they will possess in the future.
The world gets more selfish,and arrogant,and self exalting,as time goes on,for that is the direction they are going,and America kicked up a big notch in that department to where people do not trust like they used to,people drift apart and only care about self,and it gets worse to where they do not give a crap about you,because they view you do not care about them,for everybody is only interested in me,and what I can get.
It is inevitable that people will not trust each other as much,and we see many relationships that are based on money,and the attitude seems like try to get all you can out of the person,like it is a competition,and thinking about self,instead of a team effort.
Not to be negative,and there is still some people that are not like that,but it is inevitable that it will happen to a high degree one day when they get to that point in time.
We are at the last generation,and people do not like,or trust,each other as much as in the past.

Yep Galatea no matter what your username you are my friend,and like a friend you get on my nerves,and cheer me up,and care about me,and we've had a falling out,but hey that's "my kind of friendships" when I lose a friend then get them back it makes the friendship "stronger",ordinary friends come and go but you are "one of a kind" and so I'll never forget you and always be glad to be around you.
but maybe I am wrong
