At the heart of every trusting decision is the ability to waste. Would you take your 54 inch LCD out back right now and drop a fat brick through it? Waste. Would you give away one of your puppies(and not the one that drops a hot piddle on your leather couch, the other one)? Waste. Would you run away from your reckless abandon to be in control? Waste. Would you give up the face of your beloved mother, and the embrace of your wisdom filled father? Waste. Pushing even further, can your put your hands on this waste plow without looking back? Until you have a grueling truth session between your initial thoughts and your heart about your ability to waste, you will never understand what it means to trust.
"Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep." Matthew 10:9-10
To you...far fetched, unreasonable, maybe idiotic...To HIM...necessary.
