TrustWorthy?

Gonna unload a big one this morning

Like to discuss what it means to be trust-worthy?

Several times over the years during discussions with others desiring to develop friends in their lives questions arise

"Am I friend worthy?”

“What am I doing to make myself friend worthy?”

Trust moves the same way

Maybe there is a reason we have few relationships with a deep level of trust
Maybe there is a reason others do not trust me

You willing to look in the mirror with this question---Am I trust worthy?

Yup?

Start here

With me…

Have I proved myself to be a person who can be trusted over the years?
Do I share stuff that has been entrusted to me?
When I look in my rear view mirror of my relational life, what does the wake look like?
Is it a mess or smooth?
Am I secure with who I am, no matter what others say?
Have I taken the initiative towards forgiveness when it was called for?
Is there something in my past that is hindering me from being a more trusting individual?

With others…

Is it easy for me to trust others?
If not, why do you think it is this way?
Have I given others a second chance when they screwed up?
Have I trusted too much?

In the future…

What choices do I need to make today to be a person others can trust?
Do I really want others to trust me? How bad do I want it? Enough to change?
What kind of trust legacy am I leaving if today was my last day on earth?


Tough questions-but worth exploring

Maybe I am missing a few?
