True and faithful

"Now I saw a new heaven opened and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war." -Revelation 19:11

Here we see our true and faithful Lord ready for battle. When we examine ourselves we realize that we have so many questions about truth, fully recognizing our own lies, even if nobody else does. But Christ is true, and He has made us His children. Our faith, often terrified, anxious, and incomplete, haunts us. But Christ is faithful, and He has made us his own. All of that, being transformed from a lying, wormy, flake into a sanctified and holy vessel, is sealed by the certainty of His righteous judgment. Here, the commander of the armies of the Lord sits ready - and we, his children, are counted among his number in spite of our failures. While man's vision for war is muddled with wickedness, our Lord makes war in complete righteousness. He waged total war for our souls and won! How different we are from our holy God! Yet His love for us is true and faithful.
