Explaining Difference Between Trust And Belief

“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”

A person started to walk on a rope tied between two tall towers. He was walking slowly, balancing a long stick in his hands. He had his son sitting on his shoulders.

Everyone on the ground was watching him in bated breath and was very tense. When he slowly reached the second tower, everyone clapped, whistled, and welcomed him. They shook hands and took selfies.

He asked the crowd “do you all think I can walk back on the same rope now from this side to that side?”

The crowd shouted in one voice “Yes, Yes, you can.."

Do you trust me, he asked? They said yes, yes, we are ready to bet on you.

He said okay, can any one of you give your child to sit on my shoulder; I will take the child to the other side safely.

There was stunned silence. Everyone became quiet.

Belief is different. Trust is different. For Trust, you need to surrender totally. 

This is what we lack towards God in today’s world.

We believe in Almighty. But do we trust Him?
