Unknown's avatar
I'm Patty, writer of the devotional blog, Beside Quiet Waters. I love writing, reading and taking long walks with my camera. I've been married to my loving husband for 40 years. We have two grown sons, two lovely daughters-in-law, and two amazing grandchildren. I am thankful for a place to share spilled ink, in hopes of encouraging others to find daily hope and inspiration in God's Word.

Ever Faithful

II Timothy 2:13 “If we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.” (NIV)*

Ever faithful

There, you stand.

Woven in creation’s song

Written in history, long.

Ever faithful, ever true

I fall short,

not so—

you.

My faithlessness is no indication of your commitment to me. If I loose my way, step off the path or head in the wrong direction, you remain faithful. You cannot be unfaithful—it’s not your character. You are God.
