What is trust? And no, I don't mean the condoms!
The dictionary defines trust as a firm belief in the reliability, ability, truth or strength of someone or something. The Bible defines it as believing and leaning on the word of God or God himself.
What is your definition of trust? What is mine, you ask?
Well, honestly, I don't know how I can define trust. I would say it's believing in someone or something. Putting ALL your hopes on that someone or something. Somehow like, allowing every part of that thing or person inside your life.
Personally, I trust in God. Because He's never failed me, even in my darkest hours. He always comes through for me and am always assured that He's by my side and that He loves me no matter what.
My trust in man? Well, that depends on a whole lot of issues. First, my relationship with the person. How long have I known them? How deep is my relationship with them?
Second, my past experiences with the person. Have I been betrayed before by this person? Have they taken advantage of me at one time or another?
Third, the past of that person. I know we're not supposed to judge or lean on the past but hold on. Listen to me before you come baying for my blood. Is this person known for taking advantage of others and keeps doing it? Is this person hooked onto breaking others hearts and still does? You get?! If a person has a history and is still doing it as of now, definitely you'll tend to trust them on certain levels.
Right now, am going through trust issues with my heart. I'm not sure if I can trust anyone with my heart anymore after what I've been through before. As much as I want to be cautious, sometimes I find myself taking the risk and putting my heart into something I'm not sure will work out.
Well, I guess it's true what they say. Life is all about taking risks.
