As we get older and experience pain and hurt from broken relationships and friendships slowly our trust gets eroded and we become more wary of people, which is quite sad. However there is someone we can totally trust with one hundred percent confidence who will never let us down, and that person is Jesus Christ.
In fact Jesus promises us that he will never leave us or forsake us.
How good is Psalm 5:11-12? But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
Look at all the affirmations contained in these verses…
I will put my trust in the Lord
Because I put my trust in the Lord I will rejoice
I will ever shout for joy
The Lord defends me
I love the name of the Lord
I am joyful because I love the name of the Lord
God blesses me
Gods favour surrounds me like a shield
From other scriptures from the Bible we can find affirmations like:
I will trust in the Lords mercy
My heart trusts in the Lord
I trust in the Lord and I am surrounded by mercy
I am blessed when I trust in the Lord
I will trust in the Lord at all times
The word trust means to have confidence in, feel secure, have hope in and to be sure about. It is a shame that the great majority of relationships are not realising the full potential of love that is available because one or both partners are holding back in the fear of being hurt on someway. Jesus has proven to us that he will never hold anything back; he even died for us before we were in a relationship with him. We can have full confidence in him so the onus then falls back on us to completely love him without holding anything back. We can do this, we can stop holding back in fear because he is someone we can totally trust.
