Faithful Hound of Heaven


"Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you."--Deuteronomy 31:6

The great thread of God's love and faithfulness weaves from the first pages of the Old Testament, repeats the joyful sound in Hebrews 13:15, and, for emphasis, is shouted three times in the final pages of the New Testament: "Behold, I am coming soon!"

It's one of the great truths to hold on to when celebrating Advent--regardless of circumstance or mood, God not only has never abandoned and will never abandon us, but this "Hound of heaven" is pursuing us for a love-so-amazing relationship every single second of every single day. ("...where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.")
