Faith and faithfulness

Sometimes I don't know where I'm going
Where the road is leading me
Life can be full of so many changes
So many uncertainties
But there's one thing that's constant in this heart of mine
It's knowing that You're gonna love me, come rain or shine

I have no doubt
That You will never leave me
That You'll be there to keep me safe and warm
I have no doubt
No matter where You take me
That nothing can separate me from You, Lord

I don't know what You've planned for tomorrow
Or what lies up ahead for me
Pleasure, pain, worry or sorrow
Today is as far as I can see
You may see fit to take me through the valley, Lord
Or on the mountain
It makes no difference where I go

I wanna run away
From that voice that I hear calling
But I'll be quick to answer and obey

-- "I Have No Doubt" by Dawn Thomas and Tommy Greer

I never knew how much doubt and faith were alike -- just a little is more than enough. I have no doubt? That'd be more than a lie; I have so many doubts that I cannot even begin to list them. But I also have faith -- just that small bit. And yet, what matters is not the inadequacy of my faith, but the extent of God's faithfulness.

But there's one thing that's constant in this heart of mine
It's knowing that You're gonna love me, come rain or shine

It's not because my faith is perfect -- but that God's faithfulness is.
