I have known those
who are loyal and kind and those who aren’t.
Those who are loyal and kind hold a very special place in my heart. I count it a privilege to know them and thank
the Lord for bringing them into my life.
I have friends like that who are both Christian and non-Christian. My life is very rich because of them. When I speak of them, I have nothing but
endearment in my heart for them and I want nothing but the best for them. I want to treat them well because of my love
for them.
I want to be that kind of a person as
well. It is my prayer that others will
know me to loyal and kind. It is not
something that comes naturally for most of us.
However, anyone can become that kind of a friend if they are willing to
put forth the effort to do so. It all
begins in the heart; the more we live in relationship with Christ, the more
natural and easy it becomes.
Notice that it is
possible to lose what we should have by nature.
Loyalty and kindness can go away from us if we are not careful to
protect and keep them. If we allow
selfishness to rule our hearts, we will cease to be the kind of a person that
others will cherish as a friend and that will please God.
In order for our
nature to change, we must be committed to the process of change. We must deliberately seek to be loyal and
kind. It may not come easy at first, but
the more we do it the easier it becomes.
It is within the character of every child of God; all we have to do is
to let Christ rule the heart. We must
diligently seek Him and strive to please Him.
We must let the Lord transform us and wear the transformation like a
necklace around our necks. Godliness
must become the norm and not the exception in our lives.
He who is loyal and
kind finds favor with both God and man.
If you are struggling in this area of your life, ask the Lord right now
to change you. You will be glad you did.
