Without Trust, Love can't Survive


Supposing someone says, "I love you brother".  You appreciate it.  It makes you feel good.  It affirms that you have value.  You recipocate the expression of love.  Then, he kicks you in the shins.  Ouch! That hurts!  Yeah but, "I love you brother". 
 
The next day, the same person comes up to you and says, "I love you brother".  Again, you feel appreciated, good, affirmed and of value.  Then once again, he kicks you in the shins and it hurts, but you still return the love. 
 
The cycle repeats.  Load, wash, spin.  Load, wash, spin.  Load, wash, spin.
 
The question becomes, how many times will you be kicked in the shins before you kick back?  When will the love being expressed become devalued such that there will no longer be trust.  How long will love survive with no trust?
 
Without God, there is no hope.  Without trust, there is no love.
