I am adopted...so I know the struggle to trust. And...unfortunately, I know the struggle to trust God in like measure, or even greater measure. It is as if the residue of not fully trusting my adoptive parents has marred me for life. More damaging, is the wondering, both consciously and subconsciously, of why my birth mother would have given me up in the first place. It has marred my ability to trust anyone.
Hey Craig, Thanks for sharing from such a personal perspective. I totally relate to the "not able to trust anyone." My wound of feeling rejected and unwanted runs deep. What if we both were able to encourage each other to believe that the wounds of Jesus run even deeper? Wounds that reveal the depth of the Father's, the Son's, and the Spirit's affection. I desperately want to rest in the love of God and trust him as my Abba. Praying this for both of us today.

Worst of all, my ability to trust God.
