Sense of security !!

Well, there are so many uncertainties in life, who on earth can say that he/she can promise something and fulfill their promises for the rest of their life. Of course there are people that can do it (I consider myself 1 at the moment, unless I change in the coming years), and there are people that misuse this gift of promise.

Getting into a new relationship is something new altogether, that's why this topic came into my mind. So, what's this sense of security ? Why people are not trusting people now, or rather I put it as, why is trust a thing not easy to give ?? Why people always feels that they may lose something easily, and nothing in the world last forever ?

Indeed things in the world don't last forever, not even our loved ones, they may not be with us forever, and one moment we may be enjoying our life greatest moments with them, and the next minute they are not with us anymore. My pastor shared with us in one of his sermons, babies, when they are at one stage of their baby life, they will try to throw things, or drop things from their baby chair. Once they can't see the things that they threw or dropped, they will start crying, because they assumed that the 'thing' is already missing in their life, because they cannot see it anymore. Later, when they are older, they will do the same, but this time they will try to look around before they start crying. When they found what they dropped at the bottom of the baby chair, they will signal to ask for the thing again. Maybe this is human nature, but I see the same when even we are all grown up, sometimes I think it's even worst compared to the babies. We are so afraid that we will lose something so important to us, something that we cherish so much, that we start living our lifes in "bondage", worrying about our loved ones, worrying about the stuff that we own, worrying about our money, worrying about our career. Come to think of it, sometimes we are living better if we stop worrying and start living our lifes, enjoying it more. Hmm .. maybe that's why insurance company is making hell lot of money from us. Anyway, not any person in the world can promise that life is gonna be just fine, without worries, or challenges. Oh yah friends, if you don't know who's Jesus is, yeah, God is the only person that can promise you that life's gonna be a blessing, but He would also not stop us from facing life challenges, because he knew clearly that, by this only we will grow stronger and wiser. So even God doesn't promise a life that's normal, without bumps and holes for us to fall down (later to which we will learn how to stand up again), who on earth can really promise us life is just normal ??

So, let's just come back to this sense of security thingy, I think the best thing to gain someone's thrust is not by words, but rather asking ourselves in our heart whether we fully love and trust our friends, our family, our life partner, and knowing none of them will misuse the gift of promise and trust. And as for those who's now in a relationship, there's a saying : If you really love someone, you will have to learn how to let him/her go, and if he/she returns to you without requiring your worrying, then that my friends, is call trust, and love =)
