Trust Issues

Jeremiah 17:5 says, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.’”

When I was a lad, I did trust in God, but I also looked up to mortal men. I trusted my teachers, doctors, bosses, and leaders with no regard. I was trained to trust in my elders and respect them.

I can now say I was going about it all wrong. All men let me down. Sort of like that feeling when I got to meet my heroes in the past. It was all meh. Now I can see the past through a clear glass; I see that everyone I put on a pedestal has fallen. Except a few. Even those let me down sometimes.

I definitely have trust issues with people now. I only trust in God and the Holy Spirit. I am afraid of what people can do, not necessarily people themselves. I know what I was capable of, and it scares me that people are way worse than I was, but we were all bad. Which is badder? All sin is bad.

I let the Holy Spirit guide me when I am out and about. I actually leave the house expecting to strike up a conversation with someone somewhere. Walmart, the grocery store, work, clients' houses, or wherever I go. This is actually my goal: to speak to at least one person about Jesus. I do not care what they think. If I come at them with love, then I am doing what is commanded; it will work out fine.

Do you have trust issues? I trust that the Lord will guide me and protect me. I let the Holy Spirit guide me while I attempt to discern if I can put any trust in the person before me. I will know by their walk and talk.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for letting us put all of our faith in you. Thank you for the Holy Spirit to guide our hearts and minds so we are not swayed by the emotional world we live in. I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Thank you everyone for being here. I love all you guys. WWJD For Life! 🥰
