The One About Trust...

Do You Trust Me? This is one of the scariest questions a person could ask you. In my case, when people have asked me that question, it’s a good thing. Maybe I’m hanging out with a friend, and we end up going to a park. Do you trust me? Maybe it’s as simple as someone getting me something to drink. Do you trust me?  The answer (for most if not all) is yes. That does not make the question any less scary. What I have noticed is that as a friendship increases the amount of trust needed or asked for increases as well.

This is true in our relationship with God as well. As we grow in him, he asks us to trust him more. It’s kind of scary! The thing with God more so than with others is that we have a flawed trust. What I mean is that we trust that God will give us what we want, but we do not want him to give us what we need. I have struggled with this a lot. It took a while for me to see it but I was asking God for clarity about where I should end up for the summer. I knew where I wanted to go, and I thought that was where I was supposed to go but I was realizing it was more of a false trust.  I’m realizing that that is not trust at all.

Trust is giving control of something in your life whether small or big to someone else and letting them determine the result. There is still an aspect that we are in control, though; we can either go along with the person we trusted to do something or we can go our separate way. So the question is….Do you trust Him? 

My challenge to you is to continue to trust God in the areas you already do, make sure it is a real trust and not a false trust, and finally trust God with an aspect of your life He doesn't have yet. You’ll be surprised at how much you will grow!

God Bless!

He has made you beautiful!
