Our ability to trust God is not based on human experiences but on His Faithfulness. And Great is His Faithfulness.
Often times, we begin new relationships based on past experiences. Being curious, skeptical, and on guard describes the way in which many of us start off interacting with the people who enter into our lives. We tend to want others to prove themselves to us by showing that they can be trusted. This behavior is often carried over into our relationship with God. We want Him to perform miracles, signs, and wonders to prove something to us. Maybe you want to know if He loves you, or if He truly exists, or simply - if He is able to provide your needs.
The ability to trust God is not found in our past experiences or current circumstances for that matter; it's not in the relationships we've shared with our mother, father, sister, brother, friend, mate, or stranger walking by; Our ability to trust God is based on His Faithfulness; His Abilities; His Truthfulness; and ultimately His Word. We can not look at God the same way we look at other human beings and ourselves. We have to see Him for who He really is, and the way to know Him is to begin and maintain a relationship with Him - an open, honest, faithful relationship.
"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:19-23
Be Inspired...to trust God and depend on His word regardless of past and current issues. Moving on requires letting go.
