I am a Phoenix part 2

     This morning as I drove to the gym, sleepy and not really wanting to go do what I knew I was going to do...
   I turned on the radio to my favorite Contemporary Christian radio station and the words of the song flooded my soul: "Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me." He never runs out on me. Yesterday, I mentioned picking up some really bad vices along my road of will and determination and trust in my arsenal to keep me safe, one of those very useful tools was the ability to only care about me. In my world, people will always leave at some point, they weren't trustworthy,and I knew when it came down to it-I was the only one who wouldn't leave me.
So then, how do I rectify within myself to trust God when He says He will never leave me. Like you trust your father? Mine bailed. Like you trust your friends? Mine betrayed me. Like I trust myself? Even I let myself down. I don't have any references to draw from, and I think many of us feel this way. I think the typical Christian response is, " believe because the bible says so." Lame. Now before you stop reading....hear me out. If I don't believe my parents, my associates, or anyone else just because they say so, and if I require concrete evidence to believe : then the task set before just became extremely improbable.
I am a product of survival and tangibility, but that flooding of my soul as words of truth flowed deeply, I knew a reassurance of the Love of God. So He showed me what love feels like in my soul and in that knowledge I find truth. THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD THAT TRULY REFLECTS THE CHARACTER AND LOVE OF GOD EXCEPT GOD HIMSELF.
  That leads me to understanding that what I've been shown in this world is simply our attempt at being in His image, and that we do a poor job. I don't sit here claiming that I trust God like I am supposed to all the time, that's a lifetime journey. What I do know is that He will never run out on me.
So when has God used a moment to show you His love?
