I have been thinking about the question I left yesterday – “How does God’s faithfulness spur us on to love God more?” I think it has to do in part with trust. The more I see God’s faithfulness, the more I trust him, and the stronger our loving relationship becomes. It is similar to marriage. Unfaithfulness of one spouse (in any number of ways), will make it more difficult for the other spouse to trust and hence hurts the relationship. But faithfulness lived out day by day by one spouse makes it easier for the other to trust and hence stregthens the relationship. There is something attractive and delightful about people who are trustworthy. We want to be around them. Our great need is to recognize God’s daily faithfulness so that we might trust him more, delight in him more, and so love him more. That is my stab at the question. What do you think?

Seeing God’s faithfulness to me compels me to love Him because I see my own unfaithfulness to Him. And He still loves me and is always faithful. His love is truly amazing.
I totally agree with Ashley. Even our best efforts at faithfulness pale in comparison to God.
