He is Faithful... when we are not.

Below is such a powerful promise. I feel like my whole life has been "troubled waters" that has brought glory to Jesus. But I am not perfect, I have made MANY mistakes. I've hurt a lot of people I love dearly. (Newsflash: *gasp* I'm a SINNER.) But lately the Lord has been wooing me to Himself. He has astonished me with His Grace and His Mercy and His Faithfulness.  I always thought that if I was "in sin" that somehow God would not be able to move in my life, and that I would be removed from Him, or He would remove Himself or His hand from me. But He has shown up in my life and been even MORE present in recent months than ever before.  *He moves in SPITE of my brokenness. * He uses me in spite of MY faithfulness.  *My behavior does not dictate my "position" as His Child.  *His word does not change.  *His faithfulness is not contingent on MY faithfulness *His Love does not leave. Ever.  I am humbled beyond measure. And I am a recipient of His Grace and Mercy in ways I have never experienced before. Indeed I am so in love and so grateful always with and to My Jesus. My prayer is, as it has always been to pursue Him the way He has pursued me.  #GodswordFTW #Jesus #NewThings Isaiah 43:18-19 English Standard Version (ESV) 18 “Remember not the former things,     nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;     now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
