Day 69

Trust.
A concept I have thought about a lot in the last couple months. I realized I tend to withhold trust in some situations when I should be generous with it. So I've done some soul searching. Here goes.

I was angry with someone for something I thought they did. So I confronted them. They apologized and said that wouldn't happen again (short story). Experience with human nature dictates that I should question that and not trust. But, I prayed that God would only allow truth to be present in this meeting and I believe God give me everything I ask for if it is according to His will. I had a decision to make. Do I trust this person or do I assume this person is lying? I decided to trust. Trust or lack thereof is a "me" issue. If trust is betrayed then you can choose to forgive or not but it is still a decision that I make, regardless of the other person's actions.

So then I think about trust within a marriage. "Without trust there is no love" (thank you Moulin Rouge). I think this is a part of my lack of significant other problem. I trust Jesus with everything I am but humans, really? Men, really? I know a few I would trust my life with but they are nowhere near a romantic level. One step at a time I guess. I'll make the choice to trust, that is my conclusion. A life lesson I have learned the easy way.
