"Thus says the Lord:
Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind,
who seeks his strength in flesh,
whose heart turns away from the Lord....
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose hope is the Lord....More tortuous than all else is the human heart, beyond remedy; who can understand it?
I, the Lord, alone probe the mind
and test the heart,
To reward everyone according to his ways, according to the merit of his deeds." (Jer. 17: 5-10)
[note: the ellipses are examples as to what such a person is like].
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5)
G-d knows our hearts and understands us better than we even understand ourselves. We must trust in Her to fill our hearts with His love and to guide us.
"Trust me," She says, "It'll be awesome!"
