When our trust in God becomes more than just lip service, we will see ourselves as the burning bush that refuses to be consumed by the fire. When we truly trust God, our mind will be put on automatic spiritual pilot. When we truly trust God, we can rest assure that He will take us to the other side of through. Through is the place where the Trust Factor is continually operating. It is a place where the righteous understanding of spiritual transformation becomes the most important communicable attribute that GOD has released in us.
