Trust is the first step to love.

  --Premchand, novelist and poet (1880-1936)

(103:9.5)  The ideal of religious philosophy is such a faith-trust as would lead man unqualifiedly to depend upon the absolute love of the infinite Father of the universe of universes.

(111:7.1) Uncertainty with security is the essence of the Paradise adventure—uncertainty in time and in mind, uncertainty as to the events of the unfolding Paradise ascent; security in spirit and in eternity, security in the unqualified trust of the creature son in the divine compassion and infinite love of the Universal Father; uncertainty as an inexperienced citizen of the universe; security as an ascending son in the universe mansions of an all-powerful, all-wise, and all-loving Father.

(143:2.7) Your joy is born of trust in the divine word, and you shall not therefore be led to doubt the reality of the Father's love and mercy.

(193:3.2) As the Father sent me into the world, so do I send you. And I wish that you would love and trust one another. Judas is no more with you because his love grew cold, and because he refused to trust you, his loyal brethren.

(194:3.12)  The secret of a better civilization is bound up in the Master's teachings of the brotherhood of man, the good will of love and mutual trust.
