Trust

A child trusts their loved ones to care for them.  Their heart is placed in the hands of loved ones and they lean on them for guidance.  Children do not ask twenty questions for assurance that the other is faithful or fulfilled their end of a deal.  Questions are not used to test if the other lives up to the promises made.  Children trust.

Let us bust the brick of distrust from our wall around our heart.  Refocus relationships to trust.  Without confidence in one another, relationships fail and hearts break.  This only strengthens the wall around our hearts.  Learn from our little ones and gain back confidence in our relationships.

Love Trusts. . .
Think
Reveal secrets.
Unite.
Spend time.
Talk.
Stand on His Word.

Keep relationships in the forefront of your mind with every decision.  Think about your action.  Ask yourself if this decision, word or action will jjeopardize the trust level in a relationship.  If answered yes, don't do it!  Whatever the situation, leave and never look back.  Separate yourself from anything hindering wholehearted trust in the relationship.  Reveal any secrets from the past or present.  Forgive and move on into the future transparent.  Unite as one.  Place God at the center and begin on the same page to build trust.  As thoughts conflict, Satan will place a wedge between the two.  The relationship becomes a battlefield; the one desires for the other to think just like them.  Come together, reach a compromise and grow love on trust.  Spend time together.  Get to know one another at the deepest level.  Absence does not make the heart grow fonder.  Absence helps the hearts grow distant.  Absence presents the two with tempting situations.  Satan loves tempting situations and does his best work in vulnerable atmospheres.  Talk when spending time together.  Tell each other of your needs and desires.  Conversations bond and help to soften the hardest of hearts.  Stand on His Word.  Come together; place your trust in Him to take away all fears, concerns and anything that hinders wholehearted trust.  Read the Bible together and gain more knowledge on what trust looks like.  He sets the perfect example.

He will teach you how to love the way He intends.  God created each of His children to love one another as He loves us.  Be childlike and trust wholeheartedly.

"always trusts,"  (1 Corinthians 13)

God, thank you for another day.  Help me in my relationships to throw off anything hindering full trust.  Rid me of past experiences and help me to avoid holding them against the loved ones You brought into my life.  I want to trust wholeheartedly but I don't know how to repair my damaged, untrusting heart.  Show me how and heal the damage.  Soften my heart with deeper conversations.  Open my ears to listen to others and focus on bonding with them in relationships.  I want others to see how much I do love them by trusting them with my heart.  I love You.

Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
