Trust is defined as firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. Trust in the 21st Century is hard to come by. We used to say seeing is believing but in this day with current technology people can fake just about anything. With the current artificial intelligence technology, people can have you saying and doing things that sounds like you, but you never did them. Therefore, since anything can be falsified this day in age, it is no wonder that we have a trust problem. We do not seem to trust anyone or anything. Husbands no longer trust wives and wives no longer trust husbands. Americans no longer trust their government and the people who lead it. Parishioners no longer trust their pastors or church leaders. In short, we are no longer willing to trust anyone or anything. To know whether you really trust Jesus, we must be willing to do certain things and stop doing other things. 1. Stop making excuses and be accountable. 2. Stop grumbling. But to really demonstrate that we trust Jesus, we must be willing to the following: 1. Build a relationship with Jesus.
2. Carry our Cross
3. Understand that there is no such thing as an “Uncontested Blessing.”
