He's Been Faithful

God is faithful! I love the words to the old song, "He's Been Faithful."

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

God has always been faithful to me. Throughout my life, I can look back at all the times He's been there for me. Even when I strayed and was not faithful to Him, He has never left me. I have strayed a lot at different times in my life, but God is always faithful to forgive me and take me back. I don't deserve it. None of us do. That's why God is so amazing. He loves us and forgives us, even when we don't deserve it.

He is faithful to keep His promises, too. The Bible is full of the promises of God. And, unlike us, He keeps every one of them. In Hebrews 13:5, it says, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” That's a promise to us and to all who will call on Him.

I'm thankful that God is faithful, even when I am not. 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

That's a verse I learned a long, long time ago and have learned to rely on when I miss the mark and begin to stray from God. I know that if I confess my sin, God is faithful to forgive me and cleanse me from my sins. That gives me such hope and comfort.

The words of that great old song say it best:

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
