The Fruits of the Spirit: Faithfulness

Faithfulness, is really hard. I love that people can have faith in me to be there for them whenever they need me. I love people knowing that I am on their side that they can count on me. That they know my friendship my love my loyalty is not changing.

Pistis – faithfulness.

Definition – Loyalty. Courage. To be principle-driven, committed, utterly reliable. True to one’s word.

Opposite – Opportunist. Fair-weather friend.

Counterfeit – Love without truth. Being loyal when you should be willing to confront or challenge.

As much as I love being faithful to others I have a hard time trusting people to be faithful to me. I just have a hard time with it. To many times I have see people tell me one thing and do something different. To many times have I lost faith in those around me. But you know that's what happens when you put you faith in sinful people. They will always disappoint you. Always!

For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psalm 108:4 

 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. Psalm 33:4

 I will sing of the LORD's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. Psalm 89:1 

Christ Is the only thing that remains faithful to us. He will never give up on us. He will never leave us. He will never forsake us. No matter how hard life gets, no matter how good life gets, no matter how far we run away, he is faithful.

I needed this today more than ever. I so disparately needed to know that someone wanted to be faithful to me. Me a no good worthless sinner. I needed to know that there is someone who wont give up on me.

I really need prayer tonight. Ill be praying for you. You are loved by a faithful King.
