trust and mistrust

We have words we use to communicate. Perhaps other ways also, but if we do not  look closely with an honest heart, we can see our fellow man as a foe, who is not a foe at all.  Out our own fears  we sometimes judge the action of others as unprofitable to us. Out of our fear we isolate the ones to whom we could be gaining and giving strength .There are those that flatter with a lying heart who have purposed themselves to their own gain .Stay away from them.  It does take a purposed heart to stay in Grace, the unearned Grace that saves us.  By Faith ,believing in the unseen Goodness of God, we receive the things we hope for ,knowing they have been given ,not necessary deserved. Perhaps thru obedience to trust, in Him, we gain the ability to trust each other.
