"I'll be here for you."

I often see this phrase, "I'll be here for you", everywhere. It gets tossed around in multiple relationships and I feel like it's just a reassurance of accountability. But, do you say it? I know I do. I sometimes just say it to make someone feel like they're loved. To my close friends, i always say it because it's true. I'll never leave their side no matter how much pain, drama, stupidity, judgement that they've been through.

Do you actually mean it when you say it or do you just say it just cuz. Accountability is key in every relationship. As I'm helping my friend go through their problem i feel like i have the responsibility of sticking by their side no matter what happens to them.

Some relationships may end horrifically and those words will soon mean nothing. But look on the bright side, simply look up. God's always there for you. He'll keep his word when he says those words. It may sometimes feel like he's not there but if you take a step back, he is. He'll never leave your side. No matter how many things we've done wrong, no matter how many times we might have said something that dishonors him, he'll still be there. He won't judge you because he made you perfectly.
