A personstarted to walk on a rope tied between two tall towers at several hundred feetabove the ground. He is slowly walking balancing a long stick in his hands. Hehas his son sitting on his shoulders.

Everyonedown were watching him in bated breath and were tensed. He slowly reached thesecond tower. Everyone clapped, whistled and welcomed him. They shook hands andtook selfies.

He askedthe crowd "do you all think I can walk back on the same rope now fromthis side to that side?". Crowd shouted "Yes, Yes, youcan".  Do you trust me he asked.  They said yes, yes we areready to bet on you.

He saidokay, can any one of you sit on my shoulder; I will take you to the other sidesafely.

Everyonebecame quite. There was stunned silence.

Belief isdifferent. Trust is different.  For Trust you need total surrender.

Point: There is great difference between trust and belief. Trustis personal and belief is social. This is what we are lacking towards God intoday's world. We believe in God. But we don't trust Him.

Some would argue strong belief shows sincerity; superficial belief shows no belief at all.
