total trust

Let's face it. People let us down. And...we let other people down. Some folks do a very good job of being trustworthy but none of can perfectly meet the expectations and desires of others even when we are careful to refrain from promising things that can turn out to be unrealistic and sometimes we just find our own patience, capacity and energy fail before we get a far as we hoped. Other people seem to be trying to be the King or Queen of tardy, unreliable, self-centered acts. Sometimes people we love just keep punishing us for trusting them.

Fortunately, God is trustworthy. God does not demand us to do anything to claim our relationship with God except just that, speak to God, seek God, trust a little corner of our tender broken hearts to God and from the start we are introduced to the fact that God already loves us and longs to pour out blessing on us. We not only do not need to "earn God's blessings", we CAN NOT earn God's blessings. We cannot earn where God has already transferred title to us. 

So, no matter how much I am ashamed to failing to be perfectly faithful in all relationships and no matter how much I am hurt by the failure of others to love me perfectly, I know that God loves me perfectly and is delighted when I ask God to instruct me in how to love God more deeply and follow God more nearly.

I can affirm with confidence and hope: YOU ARE ALWAYS FAITHFUL, GOD.

Psalm 89:8 Lord God All-Powerful, there is no one like you. 
You are strong, Lord, and always faithful.
