Giving in to Trust

"But blessed is the man who trust in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him."

Jeremiah 17:7

Does "trust" come naturally? I believe it does. A newborn infant trusts that her needs will be met, a toddler trusts that protection and comfort will be there when needed. Its when we feel that our trust has been broken that we struggle with it. Humans will break our trust, again and again. It is not easy to come back to a place of confident trust when that happens, but it can be done. It takes work. It takes choice. Everyday. 

But God has never, or will ever, break our trust. We can trust Him in all things. If we feel that He has broken our trust, we need to take a closer look at our expectations and motives. His plan, and actions, are for our best. Not to harm, but maybe they hurt a bit...or a lot. However, that trust has not been broken on His end. I struggle with this type of complete trust, but when I do give in to it, I experience the peace that passes all understanding and all seems right, even though it may not look that way through the earthly eyes viewing it. 

God is good. Always. No matter what. 

I want, and choose, to trust Him.
