Great is thy faithfulness. Holy and unchanging. You are consistent in a world without consistency. You are steadfast in a world of betrayal. Great is thy faithfulness!
In my quest to bear the qualities of my Father, faithfulness is one I feel blessed to possess toward others and toward God. Just the other day, on may way home from an outing for my job, a close friend of mine and I were talking. She told me that she admired my loyalty and consistency toward her and other friends.
It had been a long time since I had reflected on how well I display faithfulness to my friends. Apparently, I was doing a decent enough job to be recognized. When talking more with her, I realized that loyalty and faithfulness are some of my top qualities. I put my love for others before my selfishness and try (almost harder than I do at anything else) to be faithful to them.
Similarly, I have recently been focusing a more excessive amount of time on my relationship with my Father (doing these Fruit of the Spirit blogs, more consistent devotionals, reading from my "Bible in a Year"). Faithfulness is an expression of devotion and love. Each day, I try my best to remember two things:
1. Be faithful to the Lord.
2. Be faithful to my brothers and sisters.
Desire faithfulness this holiday season.
