Psalm 100:5

"For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."

Just when you might think His love has run dry for you and your family, or maybe He has forgotten what He promised He would do in your life, this beautiful promise of His constant love will keep you holding on. He is a very real and constant friend and His faithfulness goes on through all the years. HIs love for you will never end. Sometimes stuff and people come into your life and then leave your life, but God's love will not. HIs love and presence will never leave you. He is in love with you.

He is faithful from one generation to the next. You must remember His view of the world and of your life is generational: it spans across so many years. He sees things from a broader perspective than just you and the small life you lead in the whole scheme of things. He sees you, your parents, your grandparents, your children, your grandchildren and above all of that, when you came into the family of God things got really huge and you became a part of such a big beautiful crazy family made up of thousands of generations of followers of our strong and precious God. When we pan out and study the character and hand of God (especially in the Old Testament), we read He is the God of Abraham, his son Isaac, and Isaac's son, Jacob. He outworked his promises over thousands of years and over generations of families. Some generations made mistakes, and others, by the grace of God, fixed them and went on to do all that God had intended. Don't be discouraged. God is so big and has the very very big picture in his mind when it comes to your life. He is planning to do things that you can't even imagine, and He is incredibly faithful to you, the generations that have come before you, and the generations to come from you.

He is faithful always.
