He is FAITHFUL


Tonight I am having trouble sleeping. It is about 2am and I can not clear my head. I just really felt like I should write a blog so I got up and now am sitting here writing. So I pray that the words that are written tonight are of God and not of me.

My past recently been popping back up in my head. Not in a bad way but more as a way for God to show just how much he has changed my life. It has had its ups and downs. There was the moment where I first began to understand the Grace of Christ and the forgiveness he offered. Then there were other times when my life was spinning out of control and it did not seem like I would ever get out of that pit. But through it all God was always faithful and continues to be today.

Websters Dictionary defines Faithful as being “loyal, constant, and steadfast” To be faithful in summed up terms means to be unwavering and showing continues support to someone” That is the definition of our God in heaven. One of my favorite verses comes from 2 Timothy 2:13. It says, “If we are faithless, HE REMAINS FAITHFUL” I wanted to make sure to put the last part of that verse in caps because I felt it was very important. It says if we are faithless He is faithful. Many times in my past I have seen where I have lost faith but God is faithful throughout that whole time.

Some of you today may have been caught in a sin that you think is too huge to be forgiven. Remember that to God all sin is the same and he is faithful to you if you call out to him. Seek him. Some of us have got so deep in hidden sin we feel like we cannot hear God calling out because we have forgotten how to listen. Call out to him and honestly seek him, he is FAITHFUL. Others may be struggling with not knowing which direction to go in life and you feel as though God must not have one for you. Seek him and trust in him because he is FAITHFUL.

One final thing about God being faithful comes from 1 John 1: 9. It says,“ If we confess our sins, HE IS FAITHFUL and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” So as you finish reading this truly seek out God. He is faithful to hear you and rescue you. Some of us may be in such a pit that we cannot see the way out. Trust me GOD IS FAITHFUL to get you out. Seek him today. Sin separates us from the Father and for some of us it has been a long time since we have confessed to God. Like the verse said HE IS FAITHFUL to forgive.

Every Saint has a past and every sinner has a future. So never feel like you don’t. Seek God and let him restore you and make you new. Let him come in and take your old life and create a new and better life. HE IS FAITHFUL. HE IS FAITHFUL. Do not forget that. GOD IS FAITHFUL.

Love you all
