Who Do You Trust

Who do you trust? Do you trust your love? Do you trust your work abilities? Your wife, your husband? Your best friend? Yourself?

I once saw one of your dogs, a beautiful Cocker Spaniel, eating peanut butter his human had given him. Despite the fact there was no way to swallow that peanut butter without first using his tongue to clean every inch of his mouth where it stayed stuck like glue, he kept trying and trying, full of trust for his human and this weird food he gave him, and happy too that his human noticed and loved him.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone could trust so easily and accept whatever his Master gave them with love, and with the faith that God would never give them anything to hurt them?

And wouldn’t it be just great if we could trust ourselves the same way? To love ourselves, accept and have faith in us?

It’s been said in so many ways “to thine own self be true,” “the love you give was always meant for you.” Even Christ said how you love one another is how you love Him.
The first step to loving anyone else is loving yourself – the true love of one’s soul and the right of that soul to be here like all the others, the love of who you are, physically and spiritually. And the happiness of that love will seep into your everyday life and you will be ready for whatever God and you have planned for you, next. Sleeper awaken!
