Psalm 89:2 … Your love has always been our lives' foundation; your fidelity has been the roof over our world. 17 Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us-you've been so good to us! (MSG)

We are encased by His love and faithfulness.  The foundation, upon which everything in our lives is built, is God’s LOVE.  His love anchors the walls of who we are; our decisions, our will, our families, our desires.  Would God build all of these things in us, only to leave it unprotected?  No, He covers us with his faithfulness.  His faithfulness shelters us when there are storms raging in our lives.  How can we do anything but reflect His beauty and be full of life when we are so completely taken care of by His goodness?

I can rest knowing that the base of my existence is God’s love.  Nothing can separate me from it.  It is at the core of me.  He lovingly builds me, corrects me, nurtures me, grows me, and then stays true to me.  I can rest knowing that his faithfulness will take care of the things that he has taken the time to put in me.  When I do that, his joy will show on me!

Jesus, what an amazing God you are.  To love me so much that you made a plan to protect me too.  That is so awesome!  Let me just keep building with you.  Thank you for your love, faithfulness and goodness.
