Trusting others before God

I look at trust as a glass vase. You can fill it with life that you receive from your friends and family through a relationship. Now when we hand off that trust, we are confident that those close to us don’t drop it and shatter it. Our trust is shattered just like that even by the closest people we know. Everyone thinks they can’t trust their "best friend" or their family and even their parents when a disagreement comes along. We become appalled at the fact that virtually there is no tangible trust on earth. This fact alone leaves a space in us for fear to take its fill in our lives. I recently questioned why we become shocked by the fact that we can’t fully trust someone on this planet. Now some of you might be thinking in your mind that what I’m saying is 100% not true, but you will keep reading. And that proves my point exactly. Once you meet a person, even before you say a word to them, you have formed at least one opinion in your mind. You already know what you think of their appearance, personality, unbearable habits, and even how they view the most important matters like religion or global warning. And remember, this opinion is formed in a matter of 30 seconds or less. The point is humans are bound to judge somebody without even thinking twice about it. This ties in with trust because you might think that you can trust your husband or wife or children or even your friends. But you don’t think they have one of those "30 second" opinions formed in their heads about you? You don’t think they don’t say half of what they really want to say to you? Some people will tell you what they think but most of those people aren’t your friends. If you deny this by telling yourself well their my best friend and I’m glad they tell me the truth. But I think about 50% of the time those people still have opinions that will never be released and they don’t want them to be. Because that adds to their personality, that gives them just another block to build onto their ego. Now I’m not saying disown your family or break ties with all your friends, I’m stating that the human race cannot be trusted and that is by nature. Sin has given trust a bad name in the nature of human beings. So you can’t trust anyone so pretty much life can’t provide good reliable relationships. But that’s anything from the truth. If you feel that way or you are upset and done with crappy relationships that break you, just know that that there’s one person that has never been that way and He never will be. This person is God. He is the ONLY person that you can fully trust without any “30 second” judgment. I’ll let you take that in……….because it’s a breath of fresh air.


Remember this:

v He doesn’t judge, humans do so don’t worry when you can’t trust others because you can put all of your trust in Him

v Don’t call Him a liar, let there be a place in your heart for His words once you have accepted you trusting Him
