Have you ever thought of trust being the same as faith? I hadn't really thought about it until just now. I was thinking about the idea of trust and I realised... trusting in something is having faith in something. Believing in what we don't see. Believing that someone will come through for us even when we are not sure about it ourselves.
So thinking about it, when we say we have faith in God, we are saying that we trust that He will look out for us. We trust that He knows what's best for us. We trust that He will never leave us. Trust is faith. Faith is trust. And with faith and trust comes love.
When we love someone we develop a trust in them. We trust that they wont hurt us. Sometimes we can love someone so much that, even when they do hurt us, the love remains and the trust also stays. This is how God sees us. He loves us so much that He trusts that we wont hurt Him, but as the humans of the world that we are, and sinners, we probably hurt Him more than we realised. But does that stop Him from loving us. No! God loves us no matter what. He trusts us. Not only do we have faith in Him, but He has faith and trust in us.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
The Bible tells us to trust the Lord with everything that we have. Love Him, and trust Him and know that He will show you the best path to follow.
Thankful for: Houses
It's raining outside and I am safely inside. I'm thankful for the shelter that I have. Thankful for the house that I am able to live in. Thankful for the home that I have.
