                 I am Faithful, I will not Change

   "Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in 
   the Lord his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and 
   everything in them--the Lord, who remains faithful forever."
	--Psalm 146:5-7


   "For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake His faithful 
   ones. They will be protected forever."  --Psalm 37:28

My love is without repentance, and I bestow it on those who love Me 
and follow Me. I will keep them in the time of the storm, and the time 
of the famine, for My promises are faithful and sure. I am calling My 
own to faithfulness, for many are falling away, pursuing the goals of 
this world. I am trusting them to give themselves to Me unreservedly, 
just as I have given My Son for them. 

There will be many temptations for them to leave Me and deny My Name, 
but I am faithful, I will not change. They will find their strength in 
Me, for as they submit to My will, they will find springs of living 
water welling up with in them, bringing life and peace to their hearts. 
Yes, I know these are troubling times and they will continue, but I 
will keep My own. 

Let every man and woman call on Me while I am to be found--My mercy 
endures forever.
