Thankful for His Faithfulness

Thankful today that I serve a God who loves me -- all of me, a God who, even though He knows I'm prone to failure, He never ceases to pick me up, wipe the dust from the seat of my pants (or, most recently, the mud from my face), and point me in the right direction. He doesn't leave my side when I misstep or when I say all the wrong things. He never fails me, even when I fail Him and everyone else, including myself. He restores hope to hopeless situations, and radiates light in the darkest of nights. So thankful today that I'm not walking this journey alone, that He is always, always, always near, and He hears the whispers from my lips and the cries of my heart, even when I'm too stubborn and too prideful to speak. I'm thankful too that He has surrounded me with people who love me, pray for me, encourage me, and correct me (even when the correction makes me want to punch them in the face or kick them in the shins). I love that He continues to work on me, chipping away those ugly places and creating beauty from the brokenness. If you've never experienced unconditional love, you are missing the greatest gift this life has to offer. ❤️❤️❤️
