Faithfulness


He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness.
 John 1:14 NLT

I am always amazed when I contemplate God's unfailing love.  There is so much in this world that is uncertain.  No human can ever love perfectly.  We all fail in so many ways, but God is absolutely faithful.  

When we look at him and relate to him, we encounter a person of perfect love and compassion. He is one who always understands and sympathizes.  He never gives up on us no matter what we have done or how we have failed.  When thoughts of condemnation or self criticism come in, he brings encouragement and hope. Each time we turn back to him, he is there to receive us with tenderness and love.  God is faithful. 

I will make you my wife forever, showing you righteousness and justice, unfailing love and compassion. I will be faithful to you and make you mine, and you will finally know me as the Lord.
      Hosea 2:19-20 (NLT)
