The short series on relationships, Pastor Joey did continue
For our existence and happiness, relationships are the glue
As with a chair, we must trust a relationship’s foundation
Without trust, relationships falter and go into deterioration
For human beings, having trust and relationships is a must
As we are all sinners, we can never be fully trusted or trust
So about what builders trust, five points Pastor did share
As always, looking to God and the Bible helps us to prepare
For per Proverbs three, trust in the Lord with all of our heart
And in all of our ways, from a straight path we will not depart
Pastor used the letters of the word 'trust’ to form an anagram
For some of us, that is easier to remember than a diagram
With four letters in common, truth is the first basis for trust
Truth is tough, as half truths and fake news are oft-discussed
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life per John fourteen
So from Jesus and with Jesus truth we can surely glean
Reliability is another basis, as trust follows consistency
God is always reliable, so we should trust Him completely
His promises always come through, per Joshua twenty one
While His trust in us is dependent on what we have done
The third basis is unity, our words and actions aligned
The level of consistency is how our integrity is defined
God is perfect unity, per the words in Deuteronomy four
Therefore versus humans we can trust Him infinitely more
Fourth is standards, akin to our building blocks or bricks
God is considered “holy, holy, holy” in Isaiah chapter six
Last but not least is time as per Hebrews chapter thirteen
Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever it is seen
Pastor concluded by talking about how we build this trust
Giving and receiving trust is inherently risky, he discussed
He mentioned that if we can not trust people to be on time
It is hard to trust them with bigger things (but not a crime)
The bottom line is for us to do the right things consistently
Then amazing relationships with God and people we see
