God continually models perseverance through His unwavering faithfulness. It's part of His nature. In spite of our doubt and disobedience, God persists in loving us with amazing, unconditional love. He pursues us with a fervent love. Aren't you drawn to the heart of your faithful Father? Doesn't His devotion pull you in again and again? Aren't you glad He is determined to love you -- no matter how unlovable you are? How many times have you cried out in gratitude, thankful that He didn't give up on you? God's example of perseverance is the standard to which we must rise in all of our relationships.
