If I hire someone who promises to do good work and they do shoddy work do I have the right to be angry with them? Wouldn’t it show I respected them less if I weren’t?

Our generation expects God to act the way he is sold as acting not because we are skeptical but because we have faith. Rejecting someone that breaks their promises is not a sign of disrespect but of respect because we are respecting their word and we would expect them to do the same to us had the situation been reversed.

Trust goes both ways. I would need to see God trusting me before I trusted him. People accepting and including me in church; Christians not pulling away, ghosting, and cutting me off; having non destructive experiences of God. And experiencing small things that point towards a hopeful future because if I don’t see a trail of crumbs I correctly surmise there is no bread.
