Love VS Trust

Wednesday Matters
Everyday Love VS Trust

Can we love someone and at the same time not trust them?  That does not mean we have to give someone access to our bank account just to prove we “love” them when they have and continue to steal from us.  We show compassion for an alcoholic by offering our help.  We also show compassion by not “enabling” the alcoholic by protecting them from consequences for their bad actions.  Many times consequences are the “severe mercy” that is needed to get their attention.  The caution is to make sure we have not elected ourselves their jury and judge.  

It's the Holy Spirit who guides and directs us in how we should move forward in love which might be setting a boundary or not continuing in conversation with someone when they repeatedly spew out garbage to us.  Trust in God who loves you and the other person. He’ll take care of us, He’ll take care of them…EVERYTHING, no matter what…everyday.
