always… not sometimes… not occasionally… not most of the time… not usually… the word used is semper  (always) fidelis … always faithful… that is what God is… that has been my experience these past almost 50 years of walking with Him… He is always faithful.  Experiencing His faithfulness comes out of a relationship… and… out of that relationship He begins to change me… so that I become more faithful than I was yesterday.

When philip is more faithful in his other relationships, those other relationships prosper and grow… he becomes a better husband, father, brother, friend, innkeeper and on and on.  Still working on the  always faithful  part… but… it gets a little better all the time.  

Look at this definition of always:    every time, each time, at all times, all the time, without fail, consistently, habitually, unfailingly     I am sure not there yet… but gaining ground.

The good news is that my Father is always, always…..  always faithful.

That is a good thing.
