Are you Trustworthy to God?

• In my marriage, my wife doesn't stay with me because she doesn't have any other options (she would have tons of options for the record).... she stays with me because of love.  In the same way, God loves us unconditionally... it's a primary characteristic of who He is...

Could I enjoy the love of my wife and then expect I should not be one that is trustworthy?  If someone breaks trust with you, do you give them the same opportunities as someone who has your ultimate trust?

• It's not a matter of whether God loves us... but do I love God back?  Am I trustworthy?
• When God chose Mary and Joseph, He chose them because they were dependable... their response? "I'm your servant, whatever the cost, whatever the price.... I'm committed to you..."
• Am I trustworthy when times our tough?  It's easy to be trustworthy in good times....
• How to I become trustworthy?  I can't do it today, but what does it look like to train in being trustworthy?
• We won't get there by "trying"....  You can't just run a marathon...no matter how hard I try.... "just trying harder doesn't get it done..."   You've got to train....  We need to develop spiritual muscle....
• It's not what we "do" that gets us or earns us to heaven, Christ has paid the price for us...
• John Wesley, 3 rules to living life .....  do no harm, do all the good you can, and stay in love with God

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:

• When will I start to train to be trustworthy? 
• If I stay on my current course.... where am I headed?  What path am I on?
• Am I loving God?  What is my next step to be someone God can rely on and trust to carry His plans out here on earth?
