Part 2.
Trust: the firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.
Trust is the second part of a relationship, evolving from respect. If you do not trust a person to tell you the truth, it becomes difficult to respect them. But trust is more than believing in one's secret keeping abilities.

Trust is almost like handing someone your heart, and knowing they won't break it. It's telling them your deepest secret and knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that they won't tell anyone. It's hard won, but easily lost.
Trust isn't easy. You have to prove yourself to be trustworthy. If you haven't, how can you expect people to tell you anything?

When someone trusts you with something, they believe you won't go behind their back, or make them regret it. Say or do anything to lose that trust, you'll have a hard time winning it back. Don't throw it away over something stupid. Don't do anything you wouldn't want someone else to do.

Our relationship with God is built on trust. With religious matters, it's often called faith😜. We trust God has a plan for us. We trust that everything he does is to better us and push us towards sainthood. We trust in his love and forgiveness. We trust in his existence through what he has revealed to us. If we don't trust him, we feel empty. Trust is crucial to relationships. Are you trustworthy?
