Trust

[Lafftur]

If a person breaks our trust, then we have to deal with it as an “offense.”

1-run to Father God in prayer!

2-confront the offense with just the facts - NOT accusations or asking them “why?” Just state facts then be quiet and let them respond. (I learned how to do this from the book “How to Stop the Pain” by James Richards)

3-Forgive them. Do this for you, not them. If you do not forgive, you will suffer mental and emotional torment. Forgiveness frees you!

4-Do random acts of kindness - even if all you do is pray for them.

Hang in there! We all go through offenses. Judas betrayed Yeshua/Jesus with a kiss.

You’ll make it! God is with you!

That's our lafftur

Does the Bible talk about trust?

Faith = Trust .. Specifically Faith is trusting God..

 

[Ruby123]

Jesus has done the trusting for us at Calvary. We place and maintain our Faith in Him and the Finished Work at Calvary Cross so that the life of Christ is manifested through the power of the Holy Spirit that brings the victory in whatever is needed.

Remember we are the "Temple of God." Our "Temple" is built through grace by faith only.

What do you mean by Jesus has done the trusting for us at Calvary?

 

[Adstar]

This is an area I struggle with.

It can indeed be a problem area for someone who has experienced the bitter pill of being betrayed / let down / mad their trust betrayed.. When it comes to Human to Human relations then yes it is logical to some extent to lack a certain amount of trust in another human being..

Thats why i have no trouble trusting in God.. Because God is.. well God.. He is not a faulty human being who can let me down and betray my trust.. He is a perfect Gd who can never let my trust down.. So it is not hard for me to trust God at all.. I trust in God more then i trust in myself..

I hope you don't have the fear of love,

I hope you respect love instead

I hope you don't have the fear of love,

I hope you respect love instead

Im not sure who you're asking or what you mean?

 

[Deade]

What does he cannot deny himself mean?

What this means is that God cannot deny His word. Sometimes we need to quote scripture to remind ourselves of and hold God to His promises.

Half baked idea

The difficulty to trust God can create insecurity, which leads us to want to "force our way"

And it is hard to surrender control at times

Trust that whatever God does or allow is for our best interest

And we also wonder where to find our foundation of trust that is more unshakable that we can lean on rely on rest upon and trust

The trials of experience have inspired ideas like this

And we can only trust that God allowed it for good purpose,

something about Romans 8:28

What do you mean by Jesus has done the trusting for us at Calvary?

“DISCIPLESHIP - Luke 14:25-27

25 And there went great multitudes with Him (proclaims Him having left the home of this Pharisee, and now continuing His journey toward Jerusalem): and He turned, and said unto them (He was anxious now, at the end, clearly to make it known to all these multitudes what serving Him really signified),

26 If any man come to Me (no exceptions), and hate (prefer) not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also (no affection, however strong, must be permitted to compete with or displace Christ), he cannot be My Disciple (once again, no exceptions!).”

“27 And whosoever does not bear his Cross (this doesn’t speak of suffering as most think, but rather ever making the Cross of Christ the Object of our Faith; we are Saved and we are victorious not by suffering, although that sometimes will happen, or any other similar things, but rather by our Faith, but always with the Cross of Christ as the Object of that Faith), and come after Me (one can follow Christ only by Faith in what He has done for us at the Cross; He recognizes nothing else), cannot be My Disciple (the statement is emphatic!; if it’s not Faith in the Cross of Christ, then it’s faith that God will not recognize, which means that such people are refused [I Cor. 1:17-18, 21, 23; 2:2; Rom. 6:3-14; 8:1-2, 11, 13; Gal. 6:14; Eph. 2:13-18; Col. 2:14-15]).”

DISCIPLESHIP - Luke 9:23-24

And he said to them all, If any man will come after Me (the criteria for Discipleship), let him deny himself (not asceticism as many think, but rather that one denies one's own willpower, self-will, strength, and ability, depending totally on Christ), and take up his cross (the benefits of the Cross, looking exclusively to what Jesus did there to meet our every need) daily (this is so important, our looking to the Cross; that we must renew our Faith in what Christ has done for us, even on a daily basis, for Satan will ever try to move us away from the Cross as the Object of our Faith, which always spells disaster), and follow Me (Christ can be followed only by the Believer looking to the Cross, understanding what it accomplished, and by that means alone [Rom. 6:3-5, 11, 14; 8:1-2, 11; 1 Cor. 1:17-18, 21, 23; 2:2; Gal. 6:14; Eph. 2:13-18; Col. 3:14-15]). Luke 9:23

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it (try to live one's life outside of Christ and the Cross): but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it (when we place our Faith entirely in Christ and the Cross, looking exclusively to Him, we have just found "more Abundant Life" [John 10:10]). Luke 9:24

As far as trying to do something as it concerns taking up the Cross daily, we are to do nothing. In fact, it was already done at Calvary some two thousand years ago. On a daily basis, we should reinforce our Faith in Christ and what He has done for us at the Cross (Rom. 6:3-5; 8:2, Gal. 2:20-21, Col. 2:10-15). This is the "Truth" which we must learn, act upon, and continue to act upon, which guarantees the help of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus also said:

John 6:53 - "Except you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood (i.e., the Cross, i.e., The Finished Work), you have no life in you," (presents the demand that caused "many of His Disciples to go back, and walk no more with Him" [John 6:66]. It does the same presently! This Verse tells us the degree of believing that is required; it refers to the Cross being the total Object of one's belief; failing that, there is no Life in you.)

John 6:66 - From that time many of His Disciples went back, and walk no more with Him.

(Access granted - Mark 15:38, Hebrews 9:3) - The only way to God is through Jesus Christ (John 14:6)...the only way to Jesus Christ is by the Means of the Cross (Luke 14:27). The only way to the Cross is a denial of self (Luke 9:23). If any person tries to come any other way, Jesus says, "they are a thief and a robber" (John 10:1).

1. Jesus Christ is the source of all blessings.
2. The Cross is the means by which all blessings are given.
3. The object of our faith must be Christ and the Cross.
4. That being done, the Holy Spirit will greatly help us.

You haven't answered her question.

Our mind is also worn out from all the negativity

Given the worn out mind, the more we hold on the wearier we become

We can try to relax our grip, and find freedom in letting go

 

[Adstar]

I hope you don't have the fear of love,

I hope you respect love instead
