Trust

Who Do You Trust? How much do you trust? What do you use to decide to trust? When someone disappoints or “betrays” your trust, how do you trust again?

If Love is trust and freedom, have you given your self to trust those you claim to Love? Do you trust them to do the best they know in the moment? Do you believe people do grow at different rates? Do you believe everyone has different values? Do you understand that humanity is learning and growing all the time? Do you accept that people make mistakes in order to learn? Do you use your emotions to make others feel guilty about their choices? Do you hurt yourself by making up stories in your mind about others trying to hurt you? Do you take words and deeds personally, using them to hurt yourself? Do you judge other’s behaviors as right and wrong, condemning them with your thoughts? Do you believe your mistakes, choices others were hurt or offended by were on purpose? Do you imagine that human beings are cruel, mean, hurtful and unfair?

When we have forgiven all our own unloving and unkind thoughts, we can see things differently. When we have let go of our negative and judging mind, we can begin to see what is true. When we accept others behaviors as the best they know in the moment, we can be understanding. When we trust we are all experimenting here and learning through our experiences, we heal.

Life is a parade of a myriad of choices to make. Each choice is simply an opportunity to choose a new path of learning, healing and growth. Every choice offers a chance for rebirth and renewal of life energy. Just as an adolescent needs to emancipate from their life of dependence into adulthood, so we all need to grow in full realization of our responsibility to grow, to set ourselves free and to live from our heart.

The cultural mores are changing. The lifestyle choices of men and women are diverse. People seem to be more independent and exploring. This may seem chaotic, frightening and uncomfortable to those who are stuck or stagnant.

With forgiveness of everyone’s choices to be free, we can trust that all things work together for Good. We come to know controlling another’s choices gets us stuck in the pain of hanging on. We realize that it is only in freedom and trust that we feel loved and know we are loving. Life is a grand adventure, with diverse opportunities to grow and expand or to contract and die.

Each one chooses. I trust you and me to choose what is truly highest and best for all concerned. Let us be courageous in listening to our heart and living by our inspired inner voice.

LOVE There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; No disease that enough love will not heal; No door that enough love will not open; No gulf that enough love will not bridge; No wall that enough love will not throw down; No sin that enough love will not redeem.

It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, How hopeless the outlook, How muddled the tangle, How great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.

If only you could love enough, you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world.
