A Steady Heart
How do I keep my heart steady? How do I maintain faithfulness in everything that i do? How do I live with a mindset of faithfulness, consistency, follow through, steadfastness? Why is it important? Well I’ll tell you why it’s important to me. Because I believe that there really is something to the phrase “Good and faithful servant”. I don’t think that is a statement to be taken lightly from the Lord. I believe that no matter what we are doing and no matter what God has called us to, if we are faithful and steadfast, continually placing everything we do before God as an offering he will honor this and truly say “well done good and faithful servant.” No matter how things change in life through the different seasons and challenges if I take everything that God has placed before me and do it all with excellence and faithfulness and gratefulness I know that i will experience great joy and satisfaction. Faithfulness is definately not over rated. Faithfulness is the best idea we could ever have and the best thing to pursue in this lifetime.
I really like the way you put it in terms of just being faithful with whatever the Lord puts in front of you. It pulls it down to a realistic, desperate cry for mercy in the light that we can’t do anything good. Ha ha, but seriously, I was serious about every word. Although we have nothing to offer, He still brings forth good fruit out of our lives.
