Trust God, Period

Learning to trust someone or even in something doesn't always come easily or automatically. Trust is earned. Trust takes time to develop. How do you know you can rely on a certain person or thing to not cause you pain or harm? How do you build confidence that this someone only has your life in his best interest? Or how can you be fully assured deep in your heart of understanding that God, who is Spirit (and whom, by our five senses, we cannot see, smell, touch, taste, or hear), can in fact be trusted with every aspect of our life? The truth is simple: God being both Holy and Spirit is not the bad guy we are most often taught he is. He is not all brimstone and fire. When we allow ourselves the freedom to experience all we have available to us in this day and time, only then will we have the peace and joy of living our Father, God, truly desires us to have. Trust God, period.
