There are many people who don't believe in God's Unfailing love. Sometimes it seems unreasonable for God to love us unconditionally. Even Job the man whom was blameless at one point felt that God was unfair: You formed me with your hands; you made me, and yet you completely destroy me {Job 10: 8} As you can see Job felt as if God was destroying him because of the things that he had to endure and overcome. God did form us with his hands, but he doesn't destroy us as Job feels and as it would feel at times of depression and oppression.
Later in the chapter Job also says You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love. My life was perserved for your care {12}. While at the time Job was in deep despair and felt as if no matter what he did he would be persecuted. He also admits that God has shown him unfailing love. Job didn't know why he had to endure the troubles he did, and granted he felt bitter and as if God was unfair, but at the same time he still acknowledged God's unfailing love. How could he not feel depressed and bitter with his friends telling him he deserved the treatment he was getting. That he deserved to lose his children, land and cattle, and be stricken with disease. How else would anyone react to a friend telling them that?
Even if we are dealing with some sort of oppression like depression, cancer, health issues, relationship troubles and a list of many other things we need to realize that there is a reason for it and that God isn't doing it to punish us or anything, but that he has a greater plan for everything. His unfailing never well fails. I know there are times when we feel like it may be failing and that God is unfair, but if he was unfair and his love failing, then he wouldn't be the perfect God that he is.
