The Absence of a Reason, Does Not Thrust You Into That Actuality

Ever been in the middle of answering a question with your standard answer or with what you have always known to be true, just to realize in the middle of said answer. that none of it is true anymore? You're not only wondering when it happened but what is it that is now true, what do you really believe. In the middle of some question, I realized that my definition of trust had changed. I had been believing that I was trusting people because I had no reason to not trust them. While running this through my mind in an effort to answer another question posed by Mr. Hi Hat, I suddenly understood that I trust him because of who he is, his heart, his proven integrity, his proven faithfulness and most of all because I trust God. I have plenty of reasons to not trust him, so the absence of reasons was not a factor. Despite it all he has my trust because I know him, his heart and I believe him, his words. Its not new, its been tried, its been through some things, its been knocked around a bit, but its still standing. Solid. God is the funniest. I don't think I have ever really trusted anyone else. I'm sure it doesn't always take 21 years to trust someone, but like love, its not instant nor is it easy.
