"A friend loves at all times..." (Proverbs 17:17a)
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails... (I Corinthians 13:4-8a)
"Love...always trusts..."
Also, "...God is love." (I John 4:8b)
How could God trust us, the fallible human race? He knows us inevitable to fail, how is it possible to put trust in us? Does he trust that we will fail? How can he handle having his trust dashed again and again and again and yet still trust?
