In an era where the pace of life often eclipses the essence of our spiritual journey, establishing a profound and unshakeable trust in God is akin to discovering a compass in the vast wilderness of existence. It is not merely about professing faith; it’s about embodying it through every facet of our lives, be it personal or business ventures. This transformative process is beautifully encapsulated in a five-step guide that serves as a beacon for those yearning to deepen their relationship with The Creator—YHWH, The Architect of the heavens and the earth, and The One who knit you together in your mother’s womb.

The essence of this journey can be distilled into an insightful quote that resonates deeply with the core of this guide: “Establishing eternally-based TRUST with God is the absolute and ESSENTIAL KEY to defining the depth of your relationship with Him.” This statement not only underlines the significance but also illuminates the path for those who seek to align their lives with His divine will.

Step 1: Truthful

The foundation of any lasting relationship, especially one with our Creator, begins with truth. To be truthful is to strip away the veils of pretense and present oneself in absolute sincerity before God. It’s acknowledging our flaws, our strengths, and our deep-seated desires without any guise. This act of vulnerability opens up channels for genuine communication and sets the stage for a relationship built on solid ground. The absence of truth in any relationship will never ever flourish into anything that is God-honoring and/or eternally-fruitful. For instance, if you take Truthful out of the equation here, you are literally left with R-U-S-T. (Psalm 15:1-5, Psalm 145:18, Matthew 6:19-24)

Step 2: Relational

Understanding that our connection with God isn’t rooted in ritualistic practices alone but thrives on relational dynamics is pivotal. It’s about recognizing that He isn’t a distant entity but a present Father who desires a personal relationship with each one of us. This step encourages believers to engage in constant dialogue, seek His presence in ALL aspects of life, and view Him as an integral part of their daily journey. To keep Him in the forefront of our minds as we take every thought captive to obey Him. (John 3:16, John 15:1-27)

Step 3: Unashamed

In a world quick to judge and label, standing firm in one’s faith can be daunting. However, being unashamed of one’s belief system and choosing to embrace it wholeheartedly marks a significant milestone in one’s spiritual journey. This boldness stems from understanding and experiencing God’s unconditional love and grace—a realization that empowers individuals to live out their faith openly and courageously. The blood of Jesus Christ and His grace covers ALL sin and there is no shame in Him, at least not for those who have wholeheartedly given their lives to Him and received His grace, which has led to lasting repentance and undeniable transformation in their very own lives. (Psalm 34:5, Romans 1:16)

Step 4: Servitude

True servitude goes beyond obligatory acts; it flows from a heart filled with gratitude and love towards God. It’s about seeking opportunities to serve Him by serving others, recognizing that every act of kindness echoes His compassion towards humanity. This step redefines success not by worldly standards but by the impact one makes in the lives they touch—thereby becoming lights that shine brightly for His glory. (Mark 9:35, Galatians 5:13, Ephesians 6:5-10)

Step 5: Transparency

Lastly, transparency involves maintaining an open line between one’s internal convictions and external actions. It means allowing our faith to permeate every aspect of our lives—how we conduct business, interact with others, or face challenges—so that our life becomes a testament to His grace and truth. We don’t just speak these words around the table and in conversation, we walk the walk that we talk, especially when one thinks no one is watching. God knows ALL things, and there is nothing hidden from Him. (Psalm 139:23-24, Proverbs 22:21, John 3:19-21, 2 Corinthians 1:12-24, 2 Corinthians 10:17-18)

TRUTHFUL

RELATIONAL

UNASHAMED

SERVITUDE

TRANSPARENCY

Applying these steps fosters an environment where trust in God flourishes naturally. Imagine then—a world where every soul embraced this mindset for the glory of God. Such profound unity would transform not just individual lives but communities at large, edging us closer to what could indeed be described as heaven on earth.

As we navigate through various seasons in life—with its triumphs and trials—it’s essential to remember that building trust takes time but yields eternal rewards. By adhering strictly to these steps designed by YHWH Himself for strengthening relationships, believers are equipped with not just surviving but thriving amidst adversities while glorifying God through their existence

This framework doesn’t promise an absence of obstacles; rather, it assures us that amidst storms we have an anchor—firmly rooted trust in our Creator which guides us back home no matter how far we stray.

In preparation for eternity—and as we await Jesus Christ’s return—it behooves every soul to take these words seriously:

LET GO.

LET GOD.

LET’S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
