God doesn't ask me for blind trust. Instead, he reminds me how worthy of my trust he is. Again and again He has shown His love in my salvation. As Paul once put it, "He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all - how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things? (Romans 8:32). God loves me so much that He sent His Son to bear my punishment and die my death. Such a God I can trust to lead me to heaven even if some days I don't understand His ways.
