TRUST.
what is trust ?
according to the dictionary,
trust is the
'firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something'.how is trust applicable to us in our everyday lives ? well, in our friends.
we all have a certain degree of trust in each and every one of our friends. if not, we wouldn't be friends now would we ?
But. can friendships last on one-sided trust ?
would it be hard to trust a friend that has no trust in you ? lets see.
lets make this interactive eh ?
so lets say, you trust me, but i don't trust you.
so one day, you decide to entrust me, with your precious uh... cookie.
so i now have your cookie.
the next day, i have a packet of sweets i wanna give away, but i don't give it to you when you ask.
instead, i give it away to someone else.
would you still wanna give me another cookie again ? doubt so.
so its simple.
if you have trust in someone, but that trust isn't returned, you feel like crap.
so, my friends.
the lesson is simple.
if your friends have trust in you, don't let them down, have a little faith in them.
don't push them aside, return that trust, its how great friendships are forged.
its a simple concept, but it goes far.
so the next time you think of brushing someone off, think again.
and for my brother and sisters in Christ.
Its easy to brush god aside and turn our backs, but what we don't actually see is how much god loves us. he puts his love and trust in us, and time and time again, we fail him. yet, he holds on to us. now thats amazing.
