Trust Issues


Funny, right? Can you ever really trust another person 100 percent? Think about some reasons it might be hard to trust someone..
1. They change
2. They break promises
3. They let you down
4. They talk about you behind your back
5. __________________

One of the definitions of trust is commit (someone or something) to the safekeeping of. It is really hard to trust someone because of so many reasons. But there is hope!

Read 2 Thessalonians 3:3-5:

"But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance."

Other translations of verse 3 say:
"But the Lord is faithful." (HCSB)
"But the Master never let us down." (The Message)
"But the Lord can be trusted." (Contemporary English Bible)

Did you catch that? God isn't like us. He doesn't just act faithful; He IS faithful. It is His character to keep His promises to a thousand generations and nothing will ever change that. Being trustworthy is not just what He does; it's who He is. He is faithful, even when...

*People let you down
*Life is hard
*You can't seem to trust anybody
*You are unfaithful

God is and always will be faithful! Have faith and trust in Him!

Loving Jesus together,
Morgan

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understand." ~Proverbs 3:5
