The speed of trust

Do you know who Steven Covey is? The ‘7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ author? A very good book full of life-lessons. Later, his son Franklin added an 8th value: Trust. He said: "Trust is a key aspect. Search for people you can trust! Not because you understand everything they do, but because you decided to trust them. That makes collaboration much easier."

These days many people are in favor of Jesus. Most people like him very much, because his teaching was very inspiring and is still a source of motivation for many people. But do you understand what he was teaching? And can you really trust him?

In Jesus’ life on earth, his teaching was not understood very well. The wise people in those days tried to understand him. But what Jesus was teaching was beyond their understanding. Jesus told them that his father was God. This did not fit into the mindframe of the teachers of those days.

Then Jesus said: "I AM who I am". In his days the words 'I AM', were reserved for God alone. Some people saw this as blasphemy. It was stretching their thinking too much.

But this story ends with many people deciding to believe in Jesus. They did not understand it all, and yet they made a decision. They decided to trust Jesus.

It is no different today. Do you believe in Jesus and what he said? Maybe you don’t understand fully. But you can make a decision to trust Jesus, and that will change your life. Trusting Jesus is best you can do in your life!

You can discover this for yourself.
