2)To allow without fear.
Genesis 22 9:12
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou trust God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
This is a precise example of trust. Abraham trusted God. When God asked him to sacrifice his only son to him Abraham knew that God would award him with something great. When God realized that Abraham did trust him he sent an angel to stop him and supplied him with more and more children.
A few people find this act easy. At times, however, it is never that simple to trust. Whether it be a friend or family, we can never be to sure with our innermost thoughts and secrets. We are afraid of being let down, or just uncomfortable with opening up. Embarrassed about being judged or scrutinized. We trust that we, alone, will overcome these dilemma. We find new ways to open up. Some in our art, some in music, some in writing.
Though however way we channel sadness, somehow after our ritual we feel calm. Not relief or peace, just calm. The truth is that this feeling or secret we keep inside us, knowing that no one else knows will eventually eat us away. The lucky people might get over it, though some go depressed, or stay alone because they do not trust.
There should always be at least one person you confide into. No matter what. It might feel uncomfortable or maybe you just don't trust them. But the relief is what the body needs. Maybe you don't realize how much better it is but it changes a lot. The point of confiding isn't to solve the problem or make it go away or even feeling better. It is knowing that there is someone there who cares and is listening which is healthy for us.
The key to a trustworthy person is:
- someone doesn't change the subject or joke about something which is personal to you.
- someone who looks out for you.
- someone who will tell you their true feelings no matter what they say.
- someone who listens.
A person who does not trust..is alone in life..no matter how many people they have.

How do you pick up the threads of an old life?
How do you go on... when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back?
There are somethings that time cannot mend,
some hurts that go too deep...that have taken hold.
