Be faithful in small things because it is in them your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
Bonjour and welcome to my monday meditation on the fruit of the spirit – faithfulness. This was the toughest one for me, because faithfulness is a difficult concept to describe. Wikipedia defines faithfulness as “the state of being full of faith in the sense of steady devotion to a person, thing or concept”, faith meaning confidence or trust. Faithfulness comes from a place of trust and loyalty. The bible defines faith as “a confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1). Here is une petite méditation on faithfulness.
God
“The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” Lamentations 3:22-23. What a beautiful, comforting thought, especially on this Monday morning, the beginning of a new week? We can always count on God and His faithfulness. Which is why we should strive to be faithful too.
yourself
To have faith is to simply believe. If you ask/pray and believe it will be given to you. Trust that He will take care of you. Faithfulness does not mean you will be perfect. Strive to be someone who can be counted on to carry out your responsibilities and promises to the best of your ability, no matter how bad the situation.
others
Be faithful in the small things. It’s the little things you do each day that can add up to make a big difference, for yourself and others. You can find strength by faithfully giving your time and attention to the small things in life – a smile, a compliment, simple acts of kindness. To be faithful is to do everything with love, no matter how small those things are.
That’s all for my monday meditation on the fruit of the spirit – faithfulness I hope you have a beautiful week filled with faith strength and love. Meet me back here Friday! I got a little song stuck in my head while writing this, so I’ll pass it on to you. Faith 😘 A bientôt!
Si très doux aujourd’hui!
