Loyal

Last Friday's word prompt was loyal. I realize it's Monday now, but humor me ok? It's been a long month.

Five minutes:

Loyal is  a word most often used in the world of sports, or when describing a dog. Sports fans are loyal to their team, and cheer for them even when they're having a bad year. Most dogs are loyal, that's why they're dubbed "man's best friend." 

But what about you, are you loyal to anything? Maybe the word you use instead is faithful. I do not remember reading the word loyal in the Bible, but that doesn't mean its not there. I do know the word faithful is used a lot - especially to describe God.

God is always faithful. Even when we are faithless. 

It is going to happen someday, you're going to be faithless. Either because you did or said something that denies God's involvement in your life, or because you feel empty, faith-less. What happens when you hit that day? God remains faithful. He loves us no matter what. That is a comforting thought. When we fall down, He picks us up, cleanses our skinned knees, and encourages us to keep going. 

I hope you are faithful to your friends, I hope you are faithful to your family, and most of all, I hope you are faithful - loyal - to God. On those days when you struggle, when you feel empty, faith-less, look back at all the times that God has been faithful to you, and be encouraged, He will always be there for you.

You are loved!
