Because God is Faithful to Us
We Stand Tall
Giving Witness to the Truth:
This is God’s Creation,
God’s Alone.
Jeremiah 31:3
The Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.
1 John 4:16
So we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
Words of Grace For Today
There are too many people ready to lie, and lie, and lie, and do as much damage to others as they can with their lies.
How can we respond?
We can be sure only that God loves us, and as God enables us to love God, God abides in us. God continues to be faithful to us.
While voices continue the lies, shutting us out, denying us voice, gaslighting us, expanding the terrible lies about us, how can we respond?
We can respond with grace, only truth and grace.
Those ready to destroy us will show no mercy. They care not at all for the truth. They care not for God’s creation or any of God’s children. They care only for their own advantage, their own power, their own false record of appearing to be just but actually being very unjust.
Those who wish to destroy us are of all kinds, from the smallest child to the highest powers, and many in between.
How can we respond except with grace, only truth and grace?
For while those ready to destroy us will persistently pursue us, God is more faithful than any person could ever be, even those who relentlessly pursue us to destroy us.
We count on God, for God has continued God’s faithfulness to us.
We fear and love God greater than we could possible fear or love anyone else.
Who are we that God continues God’s faithfulness to us?
We are God’s children, God-made saints, yet simultaneously still sinners – though we are not guilty of the charges made against us, nor of the convictions falsely made against us. This is truth. This is Grace.
