Trust. A word so often broken. You've been through so much in life and let down so many times that you're afraid to trust anyone, anymore. Maybe someone you held close to your heart. Someone who you thought would always be there when you needed them. Someone you could count on. Someone who promised to be with until your last breath. But then, one day, you realized they were but words. They disappeared from your life. You were left all alone. By yourself! Without a shoulder to lean on! Without a hand to hold! Without a shade in the sun! Without a roof in the rain! You were betrayed!
This is what happens when you trust in man(or woman). Broken promises. Empty words. You promise yourself not to trust anyone. You think you need nobody. You shut yourself to the world. You pretend to be strong outwards. Independent. But inside, you're a bruised reed. A smoldering wick. A dying flame. About to lose hope in life. And that is exactly where God finds you. He stretches His hands and takes you out of the deepest pit in your life. He pulls you out of this little box you're in. From the unstable shack you've built for yourself.
Jesus says, 'Sweetheart, I'm right here for you. You can totally trust me. I'll be your refuge. I'll be your shelter. I love you more than words can express. My love ran red on the cross. Just for you. I left my kingdom on heaven and came to the earth just to save you. Trust me to trust your relationships. When you trust me, do you think I'll let anyone break your heart? Your trust? See, I made you. I know what's best for you. Leave it to me. Let me take the driver's seat. Trust me with all your heart, and I'll always be there to hold your hand. I'll walk with you till eternity. Haven't you heard? I'll never leave you nor forsake you. I won't let you go. Trust me, will you?'
