I just think it would be easier to trust God if I had extra money to trust him with.

God has never withheld love to teach me a lesson.

It is when people do not allow God to show up through them ... that the world collapses in on itself.

If God existed as an all-powerful being, He would not need the money that faithful believers donate to their churches

He would have to trust God for that, for he was helpless to do anything about it himself. His grandfather had said that was always the best place to be. At the end of oneself was the best place to discover the Lord at work.

Yes, I suppose God is the only one we can really trust. He's all-good and all-powerful. Some people want to do right, and they try to, but none of us are all-powerful. No matter what we want, we can't always make it happen.
