The Bridge of Trust

“Trust isn’t blind—it sees with hope.”

Hey there, it's been a long time since I penned down my thoughts on this platform. Life has been a roller coaster ride each year; some people enter to make our lives adventurous whereas some come into our lives to make it a tragedy. But amidst all those what sustains you and me is Trusting the unknown. Wondering how easy to say right? Well, it's not easy. Sometimes trusting someone is one of the hardest things a person can do. Why so? Because Trust has the power to damage you as well as manage you. If it's the right person, then you can manage every circumstance with ease whereas if not then it will damage you completely. How do we know if someone is worth the trust? Don't let their looks or words pacify you instead observe their actions or efforts towards you. Are they willing to take an extra step to enquire if you are alright? Are they trying to put a smile on your face when you seem down? Are they fighting for you even behind your back because they know your genuine? If your answer says yes, then go ahead and take in the liberty to share in your dreams and vulnerabilities and everything you desire with the ones you trust. On the other hand, if it's a no, then don't express your weakness to people who are not sure about you and can change their personality any moment.

In the world we live in right now, the biggest problem we face is wondering whom to trust and whom not to, hence choosing the right person or friends circle is very crucial as it can mould us to be a better person or can even close our shell which we might never be able to come out of. Thus, as your writer, I would suggest all of you to think thrice before letting out your true selves to someone.

We often feel comfortable to share things with a stranger or behind a screen hoping not for any judgements and just to be a good listener who keeps everything confidential. It is very rare to find such people in your life and if you have them, thank them for staying.

If you feel that you are lost and have no one to guide you, then you have the best shoulder to lean on, our Father, Our Friend, Our King, Companion and everything we desire, he is none other than Christ, our Heavenly father. So, this is an encouragement to all of your reading this or feeling that you have nobody to trust, just close your eyes and call upon the one who created you in his own image and called you by your nickname. Even before you were born, you were in his mind. What a great love could that be and he is worth trusting on because not even for a millisecond, he is going to leave you and will also be there right beside you to speak to and rely on. So, give God a chance.

Till then signing off,

Yours truly
