“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
⁸ They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
    and never fails to bear fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV

A vital element to any relationship is trust

If there is a lack of trust everything else that comes after that will be filled with negativity and the relationship will erode and break apart

Trust takes effort, commitment and humility

Trust works like a bank account…you build it over time making deposits and it can disappear quickly with big withdrawals

The most important relationship for each of us is our relationship with Jesus Christ

We can trust in Him because of who He is and what He has done for us

To learn more about Him, pick up a Bible and read about His birth, His life, His death and His resurrection and know that He did it all for you…

Because He loves you

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
