Faith and Rest

You will never stop struggling to stay above the water until the realization of His love and faithfulness towards you quiets the deepest intuition to try to save yourself. It is such faith in God that lets you rest and just float when you know you can’t swim.

Lead me to faith, God. Lead me to Your perfect place of rest. Lead me to those green pastures You talked about; to the place where I will lie down and no longer feel like I must worry about the wolves that come as I sleep. Lead me to You.

2 Tim

How is it that in verse 12 it says "if we deny Him, He will deny us" and the verse after that then says, "if we are unfaithful, He remains faithful"? Isn't that a contradiction? And yet there must br a level on which it is not. -small explosion in Sicheng's brain- there might be something to be unearthed here...

Ok verse 13 actually says, "if we are unfaithful, He remains faithful, since He cannot deny Himself." My first thought was, 'that last line no link leh.' but then again, if u follow the logic of this scripture, It's saying God remains faithful because He cannot deny Himself, i.e. if God were unfaithful to us He would be denying Himself. Does that mean that if we are unfaithful to God we're denying ourselves? Or is He saying this because He swore upon Himself that He would always be faithful to everyone of us? And this still doesn't resolve the question about how u can deny someone and still be faithful to them... Hmm...
