At first, I read this and had to think about it.... I asked God, and the answer became clear... Even our good deeds are like filthy rags to the King.... But then it depends on what you mean by trust. If you mean trust that He is God and that What His word says is true, even Satan trusts that. What's most important is not to please Him, or to trust Him, but simply to love Him... Love Him with all our heart, soul and mind. Love him until the end of our days, and then love Him all the way into eternity. God wants us simply to Love Him... Pleasing him will come through loving him. Trusting Him will come through loving Him. Jesus said that loving God is the greatest commandment.

That's actually a very good answer! I love how some people get caught up in trying to over think the possible pros and cons behind either one and end up trailing off topic and not only confusing everyone else, but themselves as well. Makes you wonder whether or not they understood the question.

So far yours is the best answer I've heard yet.
