There's a new movie coming out " the Grace Card". The trailer is wonderful everyone should check it out. thegracecardmovie.com. After watching this trailer I realized that God gives grace to us every day. But there is something that goes along with this. We must trust. Trust is essential to a good relationship foundation in all aspects of our lives.
We learn at a young age that we must trust our siblings, parents and other family members. They are our source of nourishment (physically and mentally). This trust is built, cultivated and grown. It grows through out our lives as we learn to trust others outside our family circle and many times the trust we have in others is broken. But we have a choice to either try to rebuild that trust or move on. If you have gone through the broken and rebuild era in your life your not alone. The world is full of the trust construction crews. One thing I have found in my life is that trust reconstruction is hard but can be torn down and rebuilt in many ways and many times. I live my life every day trusting people i don't know, trusting those that have broken my trust and those that the trust construction crew is working on. But it is my choice what to do... rebuild or move on. It has been a long and up hill road to this but I am starting to ask myself what would God want me to do? How many times has God had to rebuild his trust in me? "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23 His trust in me has been broken so many times I can't count but he still loves me and takes me back no matter how far I stray. I know he says Hope haven't you learned your lesson yet.. I trusted you to listen to me and you went your own way and now your back. Okay so let's try this again ... Will you trust me and know I am Lord and I know what is best for you????
I realize that it is hard to forgive and trust and how many times do we need to forgive and trust someone before we just say move on. I say pray.... Pray hard and a lot. God is there and he will help you make the decision. Just remember we are flesh and when enough is enough God will tell you. He never gives you something you can't handle.
Wow, How do you trust in something you can't see. It all comes down to Faith. But that's another blog. LOL
God doesn't need my trusty little card but I do so each time my trust has been broken I pull out my "trusty" Trust Card. What is that you may ask. It is a small card that has one thing on it that helps me through it all. TRUST in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5. Things happen in life that no one understands. But when you think about it we see only our little part of the BIG PICTURE. God sees the whole picture. So what happens to us effects everything in the world even if we don't see it. So putting our trust in the Lord, no matter who we find we can or can't trust, makes trusting a bit easier. I am not saying that trusting isn't hard but if you trust the Lord you will find that your construction crew doesn't have to work as hard and you may even send them home for a vacation.
On our journey through life you will have to pull the trust card out and read it. You may even have to pass it on to someone else so they can use it. Our journey here is a long and hard one make it a God filled one. Pass on his word.
