687) As a teacher of middle school kids, my students fluctuate between caring way too much about their reputations and not caring at all.

When Trust is Difficult

670) When you trust someone, you have a calm within. This is because you know this person will keep his/her word; that they are dependable and they accept you for who you are–flaws included.

The Surprise of Anything?

582) Genesis 18:12-15 describes how Sarah, Abraham’s wife, is told that she will have a son way after her child-bearing years.

Cross Your Heart or Your Fingers

581) We learn early in life that trust should be given out cautiously. This is a good thing in that it protects us from harm. Trust is something you give to someone who is trustworthy and the only way to know this is to get to know that “someone”. Knowing that person “crosses his/her heart”

Keep Your Word

352)  Some labels people place on us are not bad. If you are known to keep your word, it is a valuable trait. Keeping your word is a reflection of God and how He keeps His word. What are you reflecting? Trustworthiness or dishonesty? James 5:12

I Promise!

349)  Psalm 91:15 tells us 4 things God promises if we call on him. He promises to answer us, be with us and deliver us from our troubles, and He honors us in doing these things. If these are true, why do we hesitate to bring everything to God? He cares for us and keeps

Action Figure

292) Trust only comes as a result of knowing another. If you don’t really know someone, it’s prudent to reserve trust. God IS trust-worthy and the more you get to know Him, the easier it is to trust that He will act with your best in mind, constantly.  Psalm 37:5
