Trust.

Recently, I heard someone say, “Sometimes, trust hurts.” 

And this definitely can be true of mortal relationships. Sharing part of your heart with someone can be a blessing to you, and it can also hurt if the person on the receiving end doesn’t treat it with care and respect.

I’m so grateful to know that there is a God who we can trust completely. If you choose to give your heart to God, you choose to let Him help guide your life. And you can have 100% confidence in him. You can trust him. Why? Because “when faced with temptation, He shunned it. When offered the world, He declined it. When asked for His life, He gave it.” President Monson.

I’m grateful to believe in a God who is faithful to me- always. ❤️

I’ve been trying really hard to trust in the love He has for me, including for my physical appearance. That’s been hard. I’m honestly not sure what to do with my thoughts which constantly tear me down. But forever ringing in my mind is the thought that “God created ME. And he doesn’t create mistakes. In fact, he saw that I was very good.” The Genesis account uses the words “very good” to describe all of Gods creations after he created Eve. This phrase can also mean “precious” or “beautiful.” 

And that’s how God feels about his creations.

So I’m trying to believe him. 

Which leads me to the photo - I cut my hair, hoping that it could be a fresh start in believing God when he tells me things. I miss my long hair, but I think this is going to be a great start to a new kind of trust that my appearance and looks have nothing to do with my worth, AND I am beautiful.
