This week, I have wanted to prove myself faithful to my mom. To show her that I want to be there for her when she needs me.
My husband has also shown his faithfulness—he is there whenever I need him to be. Not necessarily when I want him to be but when I NEED him to be.
God is faithful to me in a similar way. (As with all human analogies, I am aware it breaks down eventually.) He is there both when I want him to be and when I need him to be but He always comes through when I NEED to Him to, for his honor and for His glory—never for mine.
I am thankful to exhibit and receive bits of His faithfulness to and from those created in His image but I certainly have a long way to go in developing in this area and fully enjoying this attribute of God.
