Trust..
does not ask for proof or explanation..
Trust is a silent confidence in someone.
It is the ability to choose to believe in the most positive motive of someone's behavior.
A kid would cry when his father hit him with a rod.
But he would wake up the next morning looking for his father.
Because he trusts his father. He does not need to try to trust. He simply does.
Being adults... to ask the same of the other party.. will be almost impossible.
But to be able to establish such trust.. will make the relationship invincible.
Ironic that we often ask God for direction, we ask him to lead us..
while at the same time.. we don't really trust His words. We don't really like His ideas.
No wonder then.. that sometimes when we seek His voice.. all we got is.. Silence.
We don't realise that what we really wanted from Him was His silence after all.
Because if he says "Do not worry".
We say "No you don't understand.. God"
And when he says "I heal thee"
We say "But not this sickness"
Oh.. and when he says "leave everything and follow me"
We correct him "No God.. you should have said.. follow me and I will give you everything"
