The Lord is Devoted to Us

In the Beginning, The Lord set out to make man and woman in His Image. It’s a process He is completely devoted to. He doesn’t give up. Never ever. He is Faithful. And He wants us to be just like Him.

… being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6)

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23)

On the 6th Day of Christmas,
my True Love gave to me: Faithfulness.

Faithfulness is remaining steadfast in Allegiance and Affection.
Loyal. Constant. Devoted.

If you’ve ever been betrayed by a spouse or a friend, God’s gift of Faithfulness can be hard to receive. I know because I’ve been there myself. We tend to become self-protective. Distrustful of others and of ourselves. Sometimes, even of God.

Sometimes we try to fix the other person. Mental health professionals call that “codependency.” But I don’t believe that’s how He wants us to respond either.

So maybe we’d do well to ask Him what that/those betrayal(s) mean(s) for our relationship with Him. And how He wants us to handle the situation(s).

… as He is, so are we in this world. (1 John 4:17b)

Because of The Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
    great is Your Faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
