Trust…

“Confidence, faith, reliance...The trait of believing in the honesty and reliability of others.”


It is an objective many aspire to obtain in relationships, with institutions and governments.
Daily our interactions with individuals and entities subject us to the dependability of this matter. We endeavor to embrace the issue with an expectant and supposed actuality in order to continue our desired discourses. Longing for a certainty that will allow us to commit ourselves wholly, we often ignore signs which would spare us the indifference of perpetrators.

Wondrously created in Gods’ image and likeness, we possess the innate and distinct ability among all of His creation to express and understand by way of love. This quality permits us to “bear one anothers burdens” and to “esteem others better than ourselves.” It is a competency which grants benignity and forgiveness in an effort to unite hope and responsibility. We are commanded to “ love those who persecute us”, and to “follow peace with all men.”

A readiness to exemplify allegiance, often prompts us to yield our hearts and minds to susceptible circumstances. Denying the realities of suspicious conditions, we sometimes fail to require unadulterated thoughtfulness in our partnerships. Contracts are disrupted, and even the most genuine of intentions are sometimes relegated to backyard proposals due to the lack of courteous considerations.

Barring immaturity, an agreement should be succeeded by an autumnal response. Indicative of fruiting characteristics is the willingness to be discomposed for the sake of reliability. We have an obligation to our fellowman to behave honestly and unselfishly. Self examination is of utmost importance when entering an arrangement, and our nay or yea should mean exactly what we say.

Through truth we earn trust. Jesus our High Priest, our Lord and Savior mastered truth. Through His obedience unto death, even the death of the cross, He exhibited submission to His own Word. He demonstrated compliance to the highest degree. He had dictated, “prepare Me a body, and gave His life as a ransom for our souls. The body that had been fitted for Him, suffered great anguish, and it was His declaration of “ not My will but Your will be done, that gave credence to His Words, I am the Way, the Truth , and the Life.

Our Creator has set before us the perfect Example, through a life of holiness and abidance.
In His Truth, we realize trust. Leading others to the only Begotten of the Father, will call for us to display the trust of our Truth. As He honored the Father by honoring His Word, we must honor Him. As we honor the Truth we serve, our trust in Him will encourage others to trust us...The Apostle Paul said it this way...Follow me as I follow /Christ. He has earned our trust, He is our truth. Truth equals trust.

I think you are saying you would like to trust people, but you don't think it is right unless those people are true to God's teachings.

I don't even want to trust people, but I do want them to know God and reflect God's intentions in making us.

Trust doesn't seem to lead us to God by desire for it, but love could.
