Who To Trust?

A sponsee came to me tonight with an extremely difficult personal situation. I mean really, very, very, challenging. We spoke through what we needed to speak through then right before we parted he posed the question of trust. Not sure who to trust because the violation occurred within.

From page 68;
"For we are now on a different basis; the basis of trusting and relying upon God. We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves. We are in the world to play the role He assigns. Just to the extent that we do as we think He would have us, and humbly rely on Him, does He enable us to match calamity with serenity."
Simple eh? :~)

    I suppose he may have been looking for humans to trust.

    Well Steve... one thing I ain't usually is the poster child for mental health - but I'm a pretty good guy ;~)

    Of course dAAve, that's exactly what he'd done, just like we all do. This circumstance went beyond bad though...

    Oh, how it hurts to care about people. But trusting in God never fails.
