#S9-034: Why the Jesus Way Means Total Trust All the Time [Encore Podcast]

Robert Schuller relays this family story about the issue of total trust. In his words, he says, "One problem I remember was a time when our son Bob broke our trust and lied to his mother and me. There was a real scene between us. He had violated our trust; it was like a crack in a fine cup that marred its appearance. In the confrontation, I smashed a fine English teacup on the floor and told Bob that restoring our trust would be like gluing that cup back together again. He said, "I don't know if I can do that." And I said, "Well, that's how hard it is to build confidence and trust again." The outcome was that Bob spent weeks literally carefully gluing the pieces together until he finished. He learned a very important lesson.  There are lessons here in this story that help us understand what it means to follow Jesus. Believing and then abiding in Him means total trust all the time. Robert's son violated that parental trust, and it caused a momentary 'crack' in their relationship. Continuing in the words of your Father God builds an intact trust.
