Difficult words
Oct. 20th, 2008 08:59 amThe most difficult words you can give or take are not "I love you" but "I have faith in you".
Love is unconditional, we love people regardless of their being trustwhorty or reliable.
But faith and trust... are gifts earned through hard work, bearing witness to our being, inherently, a good person.
Very few of us believe they are good persons, and the few who appear to believe so very often end up being untrustwhorty.
The gift of trust is heavy and difficult to believe. But precious like the first flower on a plant.
Let's spread the seed. Let's be those flowers.
