Nevertheless

Bob Hostetler

Father, how grateful I am for all the "nevertheless" you've shown me.

I was born in sin, steeped in sin, even reveled in sin;
nevertheless
you had mercy on me and saved me.

I am stubborn and willful;
nevertheless
you are patient and persevering with me.

I am slow of heart to believe you;
nevertheless
you believe in me.

I am faithless, disappointing you over and over again;
nevertheless
you remain faithful, for you cannot deny yourself.

Thank you, in Jesus' name, amen.
