#trustissues

I trust people I barely know and people I just met. I trust the 10 Granville bus driver to take me safely from Georgia to Davie. I trust the girl in line in front of me to hold my iPhone for a sec without running away with it. I trust the people on my research team to turn their data in on time so my grades don’t suffer.

I blindly trust all these people, and will continue to do so, until something significant would happen to change that. How silly is it then, that God, who has never done anything to break my trust, gets zero of my faith? Why is it so much harder to trust the One who has never and will never let me down? I want to entrust God with everything - my finances, my career decisions, the future of my relationships - but my not being able to let go is driving me into despair…

There’s a destruction in knowing that a) I can’t handle life on my own and that b) God knows what is best for me, and still yet refusing to give him the reigns. You know, the ones who are granted eternal life are those who trusted God. Suppose I should come to terms with what that implies for me?
