Do you look at yourself as someone that can be trusted? I have always wanted to be trusted but never knew how to get someone to trust me. Maybe that was the problem. I wanted it so bad that I would go around trying and telling people that they could trust me, that you have my word, you can trust me. The problem was I didn't want to take the time to earn the trust. As I found out later I couldn't trust myself. I was so caught up in trying to juggle two lives. I didn't know that people could see that I could not be trusted and that the longer I led the two lives the less people trusted me.
In Psalms 37:3 His word says Trust in the Lord and do good, dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Once I understood that I could trust God with my innermost thoughts, worries, shame, and dishonest actions - I could really enjoy safe pastures and start trusting in myself and trying to earn the trust of others by actions instead of trying to make people believe me.
Isaiah 30:15 This is what the sovereign Lord, the One of Israel says: In repentance and rest is your strength in quietness and TRUST is your strength.
In trust.
This blog is to ask the question are you real? There are people especialy men who put on a front. whether they are in a room full of strangers or in a room full of family. I do not understand the concept of asking someone how they are doing and hoping that they do not tell you the truth. If you are REAL you should truly hope that they share how they are truly doing. I hope that you will take the time to ask yourself if you REAL.

Let me correct that...God's Word is ALWAYS the truth not just if we follow it.
