No Faith In People

“There is only one Being who can completely satisfy to the absolute depth of the hurting human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord is so obviously uncompromising with regard to every human relationship because He knows that every relationship that is not based on faithfulness to Himself will end in disaster. Our Lord trusted no one, and never placed His faith in people, yet He was never suspicious or bitter. Our Lord’s confidence in God, and in what God’s grace could do for anyone, was so perfect that He never despaired, never giving up hope for any person. If our trust is placed in human beings, we will end up despairing of everyone”. – Oswald Chambers, MUFHH

God knows our weakness… our human condition. He sees to the depths of our hearts, our motives, our thoughts……He knows we are rarely faithful and trustworthy. And yet, He loves us still. That is God’s greatest mercy.
