Trusting Each Other

When we grow in our trust in God, we will see a corresponding growth in our trust in people.
God meant us to live not just in relationship with Him, but in relationships with people.
Without trust, we cannot develop strong and healthy relationships with those who lead us and with those we lead.

How do we know if there’s trust?
If there’s trust, there will be transparency in relationships, a willingness to be open and real with each other. Accountability and submission flows freely and lovingly in an atmosphere of trust.

Trusting people empowers them. It brings out the best in them because it expresses your belief in them.
All of us want people to trust us and we want to be trusted. Unlike God whom we can trust wholeheartedly because of WHO HE IS, we must build trust in our relationships. And trust is built not just on CHARACTER but on COMPETENCE. Keeping commitments, delivering results, making effort to get better, all contribute to the trust account with our family and friends, our leaders, our cell members.

We want to encourage all of you, young warriors, to cultivate exemplary godly character and at the same time be diligent and competent at whatever task or assignments you are given to do. This is all part of God’s preparation for you as you pursue the journey of your dream.
