INTRODUCTION
The previous message explained how God views and assesses our trustworthiness through the attributes of loyalty, humility, and steadfastness to His plans. This message examines character building towards trustworthiness. It uses parental analogies to help us understand Father God’s disposition to encourage a trustworthy character in his children, but distinguishes God’s nurturing ability over and above our earthly parents. It presents the traits that God would require to build a level of trustworthiness in us that may enhance our physical development to possess material needs. These traits include faithfulness, productiveness, growth and maturity, and patience and perseverance.
