Steadfast

So recently I have really been thinking about the word steadfast again. It was a huge part of my time in texas at the HA and has consistently been something that I am reminded of. But recently I have been really learning from it. The dictionary defines it as:

1.

fixed in direction; steadily directed: a steadfast gaze.

2.

firm in purpose, resolution, faith, attachment, etc., as aperson: a steadfast friend.

3.

unwavering, as resolution, faith, adherence, etc.

4.

firmly established, as an institution or a state of affairs.

5.

firmly fixed in place or position.

And so many times when I think about steadfast I think about how I want to be steadfast for the Lord. Unmoving in my love and devotion to him. But in the last few days the Lord has really been showing me how HE is steadfast in his love for me. God is unwavering, firmly established, constant, unmovable in His love for me. There is absolutely nothing that i can do to change that love. What a comfort to know that my Savior loves me in such a way.

Psalm 63:3

Because your steadfast love is better than life,
   my lips will praise you.
