Trust and Respect are 2 things that have to be earned. I greatly value both trusting and respecting someone. I have never given those 2 attributes freely to anyone. I have always been friendly and congenial to most everyone. I will start with a smile even if the person growls at me. It is funny, I find people who show their emotions are easier to talk to. Even if they are angry and yelling at me. Now I may back away if they are really angry. But it doesn’t stop me. If a person will talk to me, within minutes of our conversation I’ll know who they are. Everyone will tell you who they are if you will just listen. When I began with God, I was shy and didn’t say much. People would walk up to me and ask questions. God would always open the door. Then I would see who they are and talk to them. God knows in advance what we need in our lives. He always goes before us to make the way for us. God’s word says that it is better to have a good name than riches. I have always tried to be trustworthy to anyone. I don’t say that it is easier, but it is what is necessary for people to hear the truth. Trust and Respect is what you need to earn and give to those who earn it.
