| Trust is a thing that does not come easily to most people. Those that is does come too easily to are headed towards some major disappointments. I wish we could just ask people if we could trust them and they would reply truthfully. It would make the relationship process much simpler.
The things in life that are the most valuable often times take the longest to develop. Trust begins with a few simple kind words and flourishes with many truthful deeds. Likewise, a distrustful nature is not inherit. It must be cultivated over many years and through many broken promises. Unfortunately, I know how hard it is to try to overcome the obstacle of a distrustful nature. I can't even name an individual who I would turn to with a secret. Trusting in God is even more of a chore. People are only in control of a small portion of your life, but God is the ultimate soveriegnity. This makes it even harded to trust Him when things go wrong.
I can't continue to protect myself from future letdowns by reserving my trust. And I can't evolve into that mature being who distinguishes what is worthy to trust and what is not until I trust in myself.
So I'll continue to try... |
