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:)
