I’ve heard it said many times that people often struggle with their relationships with the Father due to relationship issues they’ve had with their earthly fathers. Some people also say they have trouble being as intimate in their relationship with Christ as they would like. I find myself wondering if the reason for this is that they have never truly known an intimate, healthy relationship with another person -
- Someone they trust absolutely
- Someone who would stand by them no matter what – better/worse/richer/poorer/sickness/health
- Someone who knew their faults and weaknesses, and loved them all the more for them
- Someone who loved them even when they were angry
God is faithful. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He’s not like the person who expresses deep feelings for you one week, but loses you in the crowd the next week. He’s not like the person who runs at the first sign of difficulty. He’s not fickle. You can trust Him. Forever.

Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, extend to the skies, and Your faithfulness to the clouds. - Psalm 36: 5
God is faithful, and therefore ever true to His promise; by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1: 9
God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? – Numbers 23:19
