Feeling Faithful?

6:19 pm

Faithfulness means more than fidelity, integrity, honesty or keeping a promise. All those things can be done grudgingly and reluctantly. Faithfulness is something more.

Faithfulness is the outward expression of inner dedication and devotion.

Faithfulness comes from conviction, and conviction comes from a certainty that’s secured beyond doubt or denial.

Faithfulness can only come from unyielding trust and acceptance.

Faithfulness means putting immediate concerns and personal fears aside and finding assurance from outside ourselves. Faithfulness means keeping on course even when the destination seems doubtful or impossibly distant.

Faithfulness comes from affirming our convictions and Faithfulness proves itself by sustaining us … no matter what challenges or difficulties we’re facing.
