Think of someone that you trust. How was it that you came to trust this person. Do you have a relationship with this person?

All of us have said that a person has to earn our trust. Right. Let's think about the things a person would have to do to earn our trust. Being honest, there are several things one would have to do to earn our trust. Truth is, looking at this from the outside in, there is a relationship being built. We are watching this person. We are learning things about this person. We are seeing if they have integrity and we are seeing if they make us feel safe or not.

Do you trust God? Do you have a relationship with God?

In order to trust God and to have a relationship with Him we need to do the things that we require others to do to earn our trust and to have a relationship with us. Luke 6:31 says, Do to others as you would have them do to you. How about we do to God what we would have Him do to us. We need to start watching Jesus. We need to be learning things about Jesus. We need to be seeing if Jesus has integrity and if He will make us feel safe or not. By doing these things we will be building a relationship with Jesus and we will find out just how much we can trust God. 

Jesus said, " If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. If we want God to love us more we need to love Him more. If we want God to bless us we need to bless to Him. If we want God to have a relationship with us we need to have a relationship with Him. If we want God to trust us we need to trust Him.

Roman 8:28 says, If we endeavor to know God through His Word, we will see that He is worthy of our trust, and our trust in Him will grow daily. To know Him is to trust Him.
