"I've let God down too many times; He's tired of me"

I declare: God's commitment to me is UNSHAKEABLE because it's based on JESUS, not me.
The Father doesn't keep a failure count—He keeps a LOVE count, and it's infinite. While you're rehearsing your apologies, He's already running toward you with the robe, like the prodigal's father who didn't wait for the speech.
