Good Morning, can I trust you ? Can you trust me ? We all want the answers to these questions to be a clear, unqualified, YES. Of course, we can trust each other. One of the fruits of Holy Spirit that set forth the character of Christ we all desire to exemplify is “Trustworthy.” But, really, can we trust ? We make an appointment to see a movie together. Perhaps on the way to meet you I will be involved in an accident, the victim of a crime, or just trapped by traffic in one of those spots with no mobile telephone service. Perhaps your employer or client will suddenly demand two hours of your time. Or possibly one or the other of us will have a heart attack or stroke or seizure before we can arrive for the movie. Or possibly, one or both of us will simply forget the appointment.
Each of our lives is filled with many circumstances (both real and imaginary) that can defeat our ability or willingness to do what we intended to do. If we are honest with each other and ourselves, none of us can be trusted. Ultimately, we cannot trust each other. Our trust must be in God; not in each other. This is the reason being trustworthy is a product of the work of Holy Spirit in us. The greatness of God is that He is the one who can actually be trusted. Thus the more that we become like Jesus and never speak a word except we first hear it from God the more we become trustworthy. When we love we look to find the presence of God in others. When we trust, we place our trust in God. We accept each other (and ourselves) as ones who sometimes fail. But we know God to be the one who never fails.
Think about this and you will find it to be a key to safety and freedom.
His, thus Yours,

I feel like this message was specifically written to reflect my mind on my experience with my relationship. I want to thank Father for passing this message through you. The question here is, can I ever trust a person apart from God?

The first commandment is “no other gods before Me, because none other than a God alone is trustworthy. He is the full embodiment of truth.
Once this truth is operative in our minds and hearts, others –though generally trustworthy– can fail and disappoint.
“Others” are not God and therefore should not be elevated to a standard God alone can meet.
