God is faithful. Even when life has trust us that we can't rely trust and rely on anyone but ourselves and experience has proven that our faith in ourselves is misplaced, the truth is that the love of God never fails and He is faithful. God does what He says He will do completely and thoroughly and exactly as He says He will. Some things may not happen as quickly as we'd like, but when He said He will heal the brokenhearted and set the prisoner free, that's exactly what He meant and what He will do if we let Him. He is true to His word. He doesn't change His mind and get wishy wash depending on the situation or popular opinion. He is the one friend, Father, commander who is always loyal. He set a standard of holiness and perfection and stayed true to it while staying true to His attributes of love and mercy at the same time by sacrificing perfection on a cross in our place so that we who can never be perfect and holy on our own can be made perfect and holy through Him and by Him. Whatever part of faithfulness we look at, it perfectly describes God and why we can trust Him and rely on Him always.
