The Gift of Trust
Sermon by Scott Tilley Trust is an interesting concept. It is hard to earn and easy to lose. It forms the basis for all meaningful relationships. Ultimately, trust means having faith in someone else, even when facts and logic may seem to be pointing towards a different conclusion at times. I recently experienced the power of the gift of trust. I was unable to complete a large project, and I had to rely on my confidence that the person who took over the project would do a good job. Delegating responsibilities like this is not always easy since delegation implies trust. The result was outstanding, and I learned how important it is to let go and place your trust in others. Come to this stimulating sermon by Scott Tilley to learn how the gift of trust can be transformative for both parties. By placing your trust in someone else, you are making yourself vulnerable and open to disappointment. But you are also giving the other person a wonderful sense of self-assurance and affirmative responsibility. The former is risky, but the latter is the essence of life. |
