Yesterday, Melissa Kulynych was our speaker. Below is an introduction to her sermon. I pray that we will be reminded of God’s faithfulness throughout our lives and that He would fill us with His faithfulness, joy, and love and that we will choose to let all our dissatisfaction fade away and that we will be completely satisfied with His loving kindness.
Psalm 37:3-5 “Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.”
When we think back to some of the darkest moments in our lives, we can se that it is in those places that we have felt His love so fully and so completely. It is overwhelming that in the middle of all of that darkness and all of our sin and failure that He chooses to love us and not to look at our lack but only looked at who we are in Him. He is so faithful to us because His heart loves us. He just wants to be with us. We were made not to DO for him, but to BE his. We don’t earn his faithfulness, we couldn’t possibly do anything to earn his love or faithfulness; He just chooses to lavish them on us because He wants to be with us and for us to know that we are His Beloved.
