When we turn from Him and pursue the love of the world claiming its love is better than His love--God in His faithfulness pursues us with His lovingkindness.
When instead of being thankful we boast that all the blessings God has given us are our entitlement--we deserve them--God in His faithfulness takes them all away so that we recognize that He alone is our blessing.
When we look at the work God has called us to do and exclaim, "I can't do this. My abilities are inadequate to meet the challenge"--God speaks kindly to our heart, "Ah, at last you are ready to lean on Me and find the impossible, possible."
When we struggle with our faith and doubt His promises--God in His faithfulness keeps His promises.
When instead of soaring on the winds of adversity, we fold up our wings and start to crash into the dark forest of despair and depression--God in His faithfulness takes us into the loving embrace of His everlasting arms.
When others are unfaithful, and we feel abandoned and alone--God in His faithfulness whispers, "I will never, ever, leave you or forsake you. For all eternity, I am Yours and You are mine."
When we can no longer carry our burdens and cares--God in His faithfulness takes us and our burdens onto His omnipotent shoulders and carries us--without condemning us--on to the next step of our journey.
