Trust

An expression of tender confidence in another. Living and operating by trust is sometimes a very elusive lifestyle. As a Christian, I understand the two reciprocals of life: Faith and fear. To live by faith and ignore your fears is easier said than done and the same goes for trust. To have an unhindered trust in a positive outcome means to place your confidence in Christ. I have come to realize that, when my own self-confidence is questioned, I do not place the heavy burden of indecisiveness upon my own shoulders. Instead, I choose to hand it over to God and accept the outcome as a reflection of his will. I choose to govern myself by honesty and should my honest action be detrimental to my task then I should reconsider the value of my endeavor. I place trust in this virtue because when all else is lost, my integrity will remain intact. It is through this lifestyle that a draw peace. There is no greater serenity, than the comfort of a clean conscious.

I place my devout trust in Christ, that through my honest action there shall be an honest reward. That indeed, no matter how fruitless or flavorless a life of principal may seem; it is the seeds I sow now that yield the festivities of the future. May the good Lord place his loving hand on the foundations of my life, that with time my integrity shall support and solidify an unshaken palace of paradise.

For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence. Psalm 71: 5

O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.Psalm 34: 8

     

He who deals wisely and heeds [God's] word and counsel shall find good, and whoever leans on, trusts in, and is confident in the Lord--happy, blessed, and fortunate is he.
Proverbs 16: 20
