I'm listening to a sermon a good friend of me gave, and I thought I might post a note about trust I posted on facebook a couple of month ago
Psalm 28:7
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
You always need someone to trust! For a lot of people it's hard to trust if it's into other people, things, systems or God.I can't write a lot about others trusting God because it has to be a decision that everyone has to take themselves, we can support and help a person that thinks of trusting God and accepting jesus as their savior, but we can never push people to do what they don't want to do. It's also a part of trusting someone when you don't make them do sth, if you trust them to do the right thing. For some people it's hard to trust other people, especially those they just met. Some of them got hurt and are just afraid; they build an invisible wall around them and only some people are able to break through those. The worst thing that can happen than is if someone breaks that trust, once you're hurt it's even harder to trust. In those moments it's important to have at least always one person you can trust. In my case: God! he is my Lord and savior and I'm always gonna be able to trust the Lord.
haha, i just remembered a sheet of paper i got from my exchange organisation before i left, it was talking about going back to your home country. The one thing i now remembered was the reverse culture shock, it means that you have problems to find back into your home, especially because of the glorifications you do in the country you were. i don#t know if i really have that, but i now realize that my life here wasn' as amazing as i always thought. I already experienced a lot of suprises, positive and negative. But now back to my topic: trust
I'm a very open and friendly person, at least that's what i think, and i LOVE meeting new people, but thinking abou this topic, just a while ago( to be specific yesterday), i realized that i need to be more careful who i trust. some people you think would be understanding maybe aren't what you think, like i said the glorification of the things and people in your homecountry.
But as many problems i might have, as many people might hurt me, as many things will go wrong. i can always trust into my LORD!
Psalm 9:9-10
9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
