| Lord, I have done it again. I have taken the path of least resistance. I have stumbled and stumbled and have fallen. Lord I have failed you so many times.Through everything, I know you are faithful. Lord, so many are the questions, so few are the answers.How many times I ask you. How impatiently I await your reply. How patient you are with me. Through everything, I know you are faithful. Lord, how can your love embrace one such as I? How often I am merciless, yet you are mercy. How often I feel hopeless, yet you are hope itself. How often I feel lonely, yet you are always with me. How often am I faithless? Through everything, I know you are faithful. Through everything, I know you are faithful. tsf |

| Faithful Lord,
My heart of stone You grind to powder, Then reform; Reshape my faith, Refine my life, Remove what's wrong, Increase my sight. Heavenly hope, My gaze beyond The present trial, I follow on. |
| Oh Lord,
Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Psalm 35:5-6 |
| A FAITHFUL PERSON is trustworthy and reliable. Some people make faithfulness a hallmark of their human relationships, but the faithfulness that matters most is the faithfulness we show towards God. God is faithful. He does what He promises to do. Moreover, because God is faithful, we dare have courage to trust Him and His promises. "He is faithful that promised" (Heb. 10:23). "Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens: and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds" (Psa. 36:5). "Thy faithfulness is unto all generations..."--Psa. 119:90 In truth, all of God's creation depend on His faithfulness. Animals begin their annual migrations and periodic breeding cycles at certain times because nature's laws are firm. Plants send forth seed and sapling according to His faithfulness. Only human-kind has a hard time knowing whether or not to exercise faith in God. If we are full of faith we will believe God's word and expect Him to fulfill His promises. That means we will actually live according to what we think. We judge that God, who delivered His word, is faithful (Heb. 11:11). Therefore, we commit ourselves to our heavenly Father in spite of unfair or evil circumstances. We do God's will the best we can because we trust our faithful Creator to set all things right in His time and way. "Therefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right."--1 Pet. 4:19 NASB We find strength to be faithful to God because God is faithful in dealing with us. |

| “God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.” 1Corinthians 1:9
God does not love you less today because of what you did yesterday. GOD IS FAITHFUL to do what He has promised. God loves faithfully. God does not HAVE love, GOD IS LOVE. God defines “love”. Love does not define God. Natural human love is based on the object of its love. Natural human love is to love you because ____ (you are so cute, you do something for me, I benefit from you, you are the best, you are the most beautiful, or because you are faithful, etc.). God’s love is based on Himself. He IS love. His love for you has nothing to do with you. He doesn’t love you BECAUSE of anything about you. His love is about Him. His reason to love comes from within Himself. He is not acted upon or motivated to love. His love being based on Himself (Who never changes) gives us assurance. His love will never change because He never changes. That means we can depend on His love. He loves us infinitely. He cannot love us more and He Who does not change will never love us less. There is no “up and down” with His love. “So we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.” We know that when we confessed our sinfulness, admitting that we “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”, He was “faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God.” That is His Name. Our Lord is “called Faithful and True.” When Paul tells the Thessalonians “the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”, lest you miss it, he follows with “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” It is HIS FAITHFULNESS, not ours, “but the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” “FAITHFUL IS HE that calleth you, who also WILL DO IT.” Rest in HIS FAITHFULNESS. Let me say it again, as His love is not dependent on us, so His faithfulness is not dependent on us. “If we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.” “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Oh, Christian, what joyful assurance, what confidence we can have, how easily we rest when we know “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” WE CAN TRUST HIM!!! |
