"The Faithfulness of God" is plenty enough for me. An instance of His Faithfulness is equivalent to a Lifetime of abundance. A smidget of His Faithfulness is more than I can humanly fathom. Even if His Faithfulness were to ever decrease, I stand in the type of Faithfulness that contains me as a whole, as the Faithfulness appears to be fragmented itself.
But the Lord is like the building up of muscle. In order for strength to be acquired, what you have must be broken down, endure a little pain, for the strengthening to commence, as you begin the build up process.
You will always feel the pain of growth. "No pain, no gain?" How would one ever arrive at the necessary level of appreciation if growth was as simple as the Life that is being led, prior to growth?
One needs to FEEL the transition in order to understand the transition that is or has taken place. If you do not feel, then you do not heal. If you do not feel, then there is no growth. If you do not feel, then you cannot adequately describe what someone other than you is "growing through," if and when the Lord so decides to use you and your Life as a testimony, to how great He really is.
And to think that it is all about you is equivalent to thinking that the muscle will just add itself to your body without you having to experience the pains of growth or actually working out.
How will you ever guide if you have no sense of direction? How will you ever protect if you have no desire to learn about protection? How will you ever reflect should you never look back over your Life in reflection?
The necessary things,
The necessary pains,
The necessary wings,
The necessary gains,
The necessary ability to be able to soar through what comes your way and extract the strength from the adversity that was meant to be and do anything BUT, strengthen you.
"The Faithfulness of God" is the source of my redemption and the gravitational pull that will not allow me NOT to mention, that it is Him and not me, that deserves and receives the Glory, that is to be!
Just a speck of "The Faithfulness of God," and I shall Smile and have a wonderfully Blessed day, every single day, that I stand in His type of Faithfulness.
To God Be the Glory!!!
May my Faith in Him be as strong as the smallest particle of fragmentation of His Faithfulness, "The Faithfulness of God."
