trust.
trust in what?
trust in whom?
for the essence of trust
requires something
or someone
outside of
self in
which to trust
for trusting
solely in self
would give
cause for
great anxiety.
and although a heart may trust
quite wholeheartedly in
something or someone
that trust is only as trustworthy
as the thing or person happens to be
and many hearts loving other hearts
truly desire
truly commit
to being worthy of that trust
because of love.
yet anyone other than Jesus,
who is as one with Abba,
is simply fallible. human. prone to mess up.
in Jesus hearts can place
absolute
unwavering
unshakable trust
for He is the very essence
of trust itself...
of love itself...
of faithfulness...
to trust in Him means
(to this heart, anyway)
the assurance and certainty
that He is good. no matter what.
that He loves. unconditionally.
that He will always be there...
around and within and above
behind and beside and beneath
completely encircling this heart
no matter what happens.
no matter the circumstance.
no matter the loss
the gain
the heartache
the contentment
because He is
intrinsically in
everything
because
HE IS.
and really, is that not everything?
is not the firm conviction that
He is indeed reliable
all a heart needs?
that is not to say that hearts
(perhaps this one more than others)
will not struggle to trust
for much of life makes no sense
and to trust means one is
willing to step out
into the unknown.
and even in the
valley darkest...
perhaps especially in the
valley darkest
He is near.
absence of feeling Him
means not that He is absent
for never will He not surround
the broken with grace overwhelming.
and peace. even in the storm.
because He is trustworthy
and worthy of trust.
