His Faithfulness!

In my moments of fear

Through Every Pain Every Tear

There's A God Who's Been Faithful To Me

When My Strength Was All Gone When My Heart Had No Song Still In Love He's Proved Faithful To Me

Every Word He's Promised Is True

What I Thought Was Impossible I've Seen My God Do

He's Been Faithful Faithful To Me

Looking Back His Love And Mercy I See

Though In My Heart I Have Questioned And Failed To Believe

He's Been Faithful, Faithful To Me

When My Heart Looked Away

The Many Times I Could Not Pray

Still My God He Was Faithful To Me

The Days I Spent So Selfishly

Reaching Out For What Pleased Me

Even Then God Was Faithful To Me

Every Time I Come Back To Him

He Is Waiting with Open Arms

And I See Once Again

He's Been Faithful Faithful To Me

Looking Back His Love And Mercy I See

Though In My Heart I Have Questioned

Even Failed To Believe

Yet He's Been Faithful, Faithful To Me



I think we all know this song, but as my church choir sang it Sunday morning, I was once again reminded with such clarity of the faithfulness of God. We as humans are so weak so many times, and yet He is still there for us, even when we stumble and fall, when we turn our backs on Him and decide to go our own way, He just keeps right on loving us. When we realize once again how much we really do need Him, he is there waiting to take us back with open arms. There is no other relationship in life that is as perfect as God's relationship with us. I play in several different volleyball leagues around here and have become quite close with several people, whom have no interest, whatsoever, in God. He is like a fairytale to them. I have struggled within myself, about how to be a good witness to them. Anytime God is mentioned, you feel the wall go up ten miles high....it is so difficult. I wouldn't say I am the best witness even in the best of circumstances, but I am totally at a loss with these people. I feel like the only thing I can do is to live my life in a way that shows them that having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is real and enticing. My pastor reminded me that no man can come to the Lord except that the Lord draws them to Him. So that has become my prayer, that the Lord in His wisdom and power, will draw them to Him in the best way possible, and that I will be a positive influence for Him in every way. As the song (and Scripture) says, "He is Faithful!"

Holly enjoyed your post and I like that song. yes, God is so faithful. You know what I have found-that sometimes your life may be the only Bible anyone ever sees or reads. Your life is an example in and of itself. Have a great weekend! Just got back from the park and decided to check mail while kids are playing monopoly:)
