The Trust Factor

If any of you read my last blog (it's on myspace), I mentioned my issue with trust. I'm really glad I wrote about it, because it made me take a second to reflect.....and that's when God shared something wih me (ohhhh how I love His ways)........ The past season I've experienced has been one where I had no other choice but to trust God's promises....Withsaying that, I realized the trust I was lacking in those around me, was affecting the way I trusted God. SO, He tells me this is one of the reasons He had to set me up in my past situations...where trusting Him was crucial.....so I can begin to feel secure with trusting people.....so I can know what if FEELS like to have someone say something and DO it, MEAN it.....so I can feel safe with such vulnerability......so I won't let doubt control me, but instead master it, because it's a sign of something new that I'm not used to...doesn't mean to be afraid and shun away..... I'm learning to be careful in who I allow myself to trust too....when you trust lies, manipulation is sure to follow.....and being used, or someone giving you false hope/security is NOT a good feeling......especially when you don't understand their reasoning for doing so.....but God's peace surpasses that and you're able to conquer feelings of bitterness or resentment, ect. So, it's like this....the relationships we entertain around us reflects the relationship we have with God....it is when I can completely trust Him that I find comfortability in trusting others (this includes love and all the other actions/emotions)......I chuckled to myself as I was laying down thinking about this whole thing.....I love God's ways.....who else would heal you while helping you like He does. Yeah, NOBODY. xoxo ~Shiena
