Faithfulness Extended

When I look at all my friends, only a few (maybe two) have been faithful through the years - but really, only my God has been completely, 100% faithful. When He has kept all of His promises, why do I doubt?! When He has been so faithful, why do I worry?! Forgive me, Lord, for my own unfaithfulness. Let me sink into the ocean that is Your faithfulness. You were faithful to those before me - You are faithful to me - You will be faithful to those after me. Amen.

Swim through your troubles. Run to the promises, they are our Lord's branches hanging over the water so that His children may take a grip of them.
- Samuel Rutherford

Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds
- Psalm 36:5
