Faithfulness

Therefore know that the LORD your God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love and keep His commandments; Deuteronomy 7: 9.

I am so blessed.  Blessed by God's faithfulness. I am amazed at His love and care for me. Even though sometimes it seems like He is so far away, He is faithfully waiting for me to go to Him with everything that is going on in my life. He just wants us to make the choice to leave all our cares, wants, and desires with Him. I tend to try to take care of things on my own, which usually doesn't turn out well.  I don't know why I try to do things on my own, you would think I would have learned by now.

But, even though I try to take control God is ever faithful.  Even though I mess up it tells me in 1 John 1:9 that "If we confess our sins HE is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness".  How awesome is that.  Not that we should go out and sin because we are forgiven, that isn't right.  But we aren't perfect and do mess up on occasion and it is comforting to know that if we admit we did something wrong and confess it to God, He will forgive us.  My God is so awesome.

Psalm 36:5 says, "Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds".  To know that God loves me is amazing, but to know that He loves me to the heavens...WOW.  I get all warm and fuzzy inside just thinking about it.  He not only loves me but is faithful to the clouds.  I have had a desire that I have been praying about.  I have been wanting my daughter to come back and live closer, especially now that she has blessed with a grandson.  Well, after it not working out for her and her husband to come here, the doors have opened and they are here.  God has blessed me beyond measure.

I so love having them here, holding my grandson, spending time with my daughter and son-in-law.  I am looking forward to sharing my God with my grandson.  My daughter and I are going to do a Bible study together.  There are people in our church who are looking forward to meeting them and getting to know them, to bless them.  It is exciting to to see all this happening.

Father,
I thank you so much for all that you have blessed me with, for my family and friends.  Father, I pray that you will bless them abundantly and draw them closer to You.

In Jesus Name,
Amen.
