Trust!

Watched an amazing film with a few good friends last night. Avatar! Very impressive, especially in 3D.

It made me think about what we are willing to accept in life.

The sky people(natural man) invade a world populated by blue aliens. It's interesting because at first they use diplomacy to have access to a rare and expensive mineral found under the aliens home. They speak that which may seem appealing, even flattering. However, when diplomacy doesn't work they send someone to gain the trust of the natives to obtain military advantage.

The trust was betrayed! The only way he was able to regain that trust was by earning it, that effort was displayed by action.

I've decided that i'm not giving away trust so freely anymore. For me it's only led to disappointment. There's nothing wrong with trying to see the best in everyone but i feel there should be a line between hope and assumption. I assumed too much, from now on my trust will be given to those who earn it with the hope it can be kept.

There is only one individual who i seek approval and trust from. I know He will never abuse or betray mine. I know He will be honest in all things. I know that he will instruct and correct when it's needed. I know He lives! He is the Ever Living Father!
