In God’s faithfulness lies eternal security.

Corrie Ten Boom

God’s faithfulness and goodness are experienced as generosity, continuity, and regularity.

O Lord my God,

give me understanding to know you,

diligence to seek you,

wisdom to find you,

and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you.

Saint Thomas Aquinas

God requires no more than faithfulness in our place.

William Gurnall

14  As Christians, we need to know that God will continue to care for us, and that His continuing care is based not on our faithfulness but on His.

Failure is an invitation to have recourse to God.

Antonin Sertillanges

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street.

Do not make light of your habitual failures, but confess them and daily strive against them, taking care not to aggravate them by unrepentance and contempt.

Richard Baxter (Puritan Divine)
