ruthless trust
“The way of trust is not an abstraction
but a concrete, visible, and formidable reality.”
“You will trust Him to the degree
that you know you are loved by Him.”
-Brennan Manning, “Ruthless Trust”

trust: walking into the unknown with purpose
“THE WAY OF TRUST IS A MOVEMENT INTO OBSCURITY,
INTO THE UNDEFINED,
INTO AMBIGUITY…
THE REALITY OF NAKED TRUST IS THE LIFE OF THE PILGRIM
WHO LEAVES WHAT IS NAILED DOWN, OBVIOUS, AND SECURE,
AND WALKS INTO THE UNKNOWN
WITHOUT ANY RATIONAL EXPLANATION TO JUSTIFY THE DECISION
OR GUARANTEE THE FUTURE.
WHY?
BECAUSE GOD HAS SIGNALED THE MOVEMENT
AND OFFERED IT HIS PRESENCE AND HIS PROMISE.”
~Brennan Manning
