In Mathew 9:27-31 Jesus healed two blind men and told them not to tell anyone but they left and spread the news about Jesus healing them all over the region.
If God sternly gives us command for confidentiality of something, who am I not to obey? There’s time for the good news to spread out, but if someone trusts us for something, we should not be unworthy of his trust. Likewise we also want the person we trust with confidential matters to do the same.

Keeping a secret or sensitive information confidential is very important, and it is your honour to be trusted. There are situations that we can help solve a problem which a friend asks us not to disclose it. We may not reveal its contents but we can use this opportunity to help people. If we want people to believe and follow us, first, be a trustworthy person and always be true to your words.

Yes, I can be trusted. I never forget the secrets shared to me and will not say a word to others about it. That is why it is called a secret. Secondly I do not want to betray a friend who trusted me.

It is a very welcoming gesture if somebody pointed out that you are capable of keeping an agreement private. This kind of respect, confidence and trust are the basis of an everlasting friendship. However sharing secrets are not so advisable at times because promises can be broken. As a result the private agreement that both parties agreed to keep private will be disclosed. We should be careful while choosing a person to be trusted.

When someone shared us a secret, it’s a great privilege, we should value and protect that trust given to us. Be aware that telling another person the secret can seriously harm or end the relationship you have with that person. Respect someone’s privacy and understand that she just needs someone like you to listen to her. But you may need to disclose the secret whatsoever if it involves someone placing people in harm’s way.

The Gospel of Mark says that people cured by Jesus disobeyed Jesus’ order not to tell anyone about the miracles. (7:36)
If I were in their shoes, most probably I might do the same thing. The cured people might think the goodness of the Lord must be shared and be proclaimed.
Having said this, I can still say that I am still a trustworthy person, that one can confide to. In any relationship, first and foremost, trust is necessary. But if that secret can cause ruins to others’ relationship or put someone’s life in danger, we must be wise enough to discern into it.
— Isabelita Olar
The blind men and the others cured were asked not to tell anyone what had happened to them, but they still revealed the secret because they thought it was good news to be rejoiced. I think I can understand them.
— Arielle John Ruaro
When a person shares her secrets to me, it only means that I have gained her trust. Trust can hardly be given now a days. So I will never break or destroy that trust given to me. And it will remain a secret confided to me.
