God promises to love us, with an overwhelming love, always. Constant.
He promises to be faithful to forgive us when we mess up and ask Him to forgive us.
He promises to be faithful to provide eternal life when we believe in His Son.
He is faithful. And His faithfulness is great.
That means always.
Over the past 2 1/2 years of our adoption process we have seen family after family encounter huge difficulties and obstacles. Endless waiting, it seems. Lying. Corruption. Even evil.
When relief comes, people say, "God is good! God is faithful!"
I'm here to tell you that while that is true, God is faithful ALWAYS. When you're waiting. When you run into another obstacle. When you don't know where to go. When you have messed up for the millionth time. He is faithful to be with you. He is faithful to grant peace, love, forgiveness and mercy. He is faithful to LOVE you.
That's what we really need. We don't really need to move on to the next step. We don't really need anything material. Everything we can see, touch or feel is temporal.
Maybe that's part of how we can know He is constant.
22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
