I’ll be the first to admit it — I fail God daily. I don’t always get it right. My thoughts wander. My heart hesitates. My obedience falters. I’ve made promises I didn’t keep and I’ve taken grace for granted more times than I can count. And yet… I still love Him.
But more amazing than my love for God — which is flawed, faulty, and fragile — is His love for me, which is constant, matchless, and unbreakable. I can’t brag about how faithful I’ve been to Him, but I will forever boast about how faithful He’s been to me. When I fall short, He reaches further. When I wander, He waits patiently. When I’m weak, He carries me. His love never gives up, never runs out, and never fails.
Paul confirms this spiritual truth in 2 Timothy 2:13: “If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.”
No cap, I owe my entire life to God. Every breath I breathe, every step I take, every ounce of hope I carry — it all comes from Him. He’s been better to me than I’ve ever been to Him. And though I may fail Him today, tomorrow, and the next — He will never fail me.
My beloved brothers and sisters, this is the primary reason I don’t boast in my strength. I don’t boast in my righteousness, like Paul I boast in my weakness because I know that’s when God’s power (grace) is being perfect in and through me (2 Corinthians 12:9). Therefore, I intentionally choose to boast in this fact: Jesus is always faithful, and He loves me — still, always, completely.
Pray with me:
Father God, thank You for loving me in spite of me. I fall short every day, but You never fall away. Teach me to love You more deeply and follow You more closely. Let my life be a testimony of Your faithfulness, not mine. I owe everything to You — my Savior, my sustainer, my God. In Jesus’ name I pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
