God's Faithfulness

Again I am posting a poem written many years ago. It is a reminder of my unsecured relationship with God; when I felt very much alone in my struggle with sin and forgiveness. The abyss between how I was and what I wanted to be seemed never to end. I am so very thankful for my Jesus unrelenting love and patience. I never want to be in that place again! 

Many times I have promised,
Scraps of paper tossed aside,
Wishing wells and fairy tales,
Never seeing what's inside.

You vowed you'd never leave;
I prayed I'd do the same.
I didn't know what faithful meant.
and played you as a game.

I was angry when you smiled.
The sun was not my friend,
but you just kept on loving me,
and turn my world on end.

I'll tell you what amazes me,
no matter what I've done,
you stand before your open door,
calling me toward home.

It's your faithfulness that keeps me now,
your faithfulness, that draws apart.
It's your faithfulness, so much faithfulness,
that breaks my heart.
