I hadn't thought of the connection between grace and forgiveness before, and as you described it, I thought to myself, "Yes, of course!" I do think that we can do much to be more trustworthy, however I understand what you mean about trust being something we are awarded/given by another versus a goal we attain, though I suppose we could call trustworthiness a fabulous state of grace! And you are right, trust is on my list of virtues :-) Thank you for sharing that Kris!

Grace - it seems to me - is closely related to forgive and forgiveness. The definition I always list for forgive is to "give back the state of grace that existed 'before' whatever happened got in the way." I often say that I hold so many "backward" (as in opposite of mainstream beliefs) ideas like that. I hold that there is nothing you can do to become trusted by me, but rather that trust is an active verb which is a gift given by the truster. Trust is one of the graces (I am certain that it is on your list without even looking!) .-= Kris Girrell ´s last blog ..<a href="http://blog.cpiworld.com/the-quest-in-questions/" rel="nofollow">The Quest In Questions</a> =-.
