Faithfulness


"His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'" Matthew 25:23

That's my goal--to hear God say "Well done, good and faithful servant" when I enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Over the years, I've learned more and more what "Faithfulness" really is. My life verse is Hebrews 12:1-2 " Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Faithfulness, is being obedient to the end, not giving up in the middle of the "race" even when entangled by sin or anything else the world burdens us with; all the time looking forward to the finish line "fixing our eyes on Jesus"
