Trust (II)

When we grow in our trust in GOD, we will see a corresponding growth in our trust in people. GOD meant for us to live not just in relationship with HIM, but in relationships with people.

Without trust, we can't develop strong and healthy relationship with those who lead us and with those we lead.
If there's trust, there will be transparency in relationships, a willingness to be open and be real with each other. Accountability and submission flows freely and lovingly in an atmosphere of trust.

Trusting people empowers them. It brings out the best in them because it express your belief in them. All of us want people to trust us and want to be trusted. Unlike GOD whom we can trust wholeheartedly because of WHO HE IS, we must build trust in our relationship. And trust is built not just on Character but in Competence.
Keeping commitments, delivering results, making effort to get better, all contribute to the trust account with our family and friends, our leaders, our cell members.

What do you think of the above?
Easlier said than done? When was the last time you lose someone's trust or you don't trust him or her? Is it easlier to gain or lose a trust?
