The songwriter once sang: Your steadfast love endures to the heavens, your faithfulness reaches to the skies... I think I now understand those lines. As I interact with people I have realized that my endurance level with any man/woman is very limited. We may have struck an excellent friendship from the moment we first met or it developed over time. Whatever the scenario, I have understood that as time goes on and either distance or human frailties set in our patience begins to wear thin. Those exciting feelings we had towards this individual when that chord of friendship first struck begins to fade away. We begin to see clearly that no one is perfect and then we make the choice whether to continue this path of friendship or to go out separate ways. We then begin to see how limited we are as humans to endure with anyone for a lifetime. On the other hand is God Almighty, who created us. One would think, He is Almighty, He loses nothing whether or not He is in a relationship with any man because He is sufficient in Himself but He stoops to relate with each man/woman He creates and follows us daily, steadfastly till He gets our attention. He works at pruning us (though the changes in our lives are dependent on our cooperation with Him) to look more like Him. For me the character of God that will forever amaze and blow my mind is His steadfastness. I give up on my fellow human especially when those inconsistencies begin to surface but He doesn't. He follows us till we take our dying breath. What better show of love? Truly, Your love indeed extends to the heavens...
