                  Patient, Faithful and True

I am your God and I am patient, faithful and true; it is I who keeps 
you, watches over and loves you. You need have no fear of My judgment, 
for I forgive your sins as you repent and turn from them. My mercy 
overflows you day and night, and there is no condemnation in My sight 
for you. For, as you wash yourself in the river of My forgiveness, I 
make you whole. 

Do not look back, but look to Me alone--for I alone can keep, protect 
and provide for you. Trust in Me, trust in My love.
