Stay Faithful

“Stay faithful in all you do, and the Lord will richly bless you.” My dad wrote this in my Bible years ago. He has been in Heaven now for close to seven years. I miss him dearly, but I am so thankful for Heaven and know that I will see him again.

As children, we want to try to do the things that please our parents. I have not always been successful, but I have tried. Our desire to accomplish this task for our Heavenly Father is much the same. We try to stay faithful and do the things we know would please Him, yet we fail at times. However, we can still get up, make our relationship right with the Lord again, and continue forward in serving Him. Faithfulness is not a consistent, never-failing journey but a journey in which God picks us up, dusts us off, and gives us another chance to show our love to Him when we do fall.

My dad’s life verse was I Corinthians 15:58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. If we stay faithful, our works for the Lord will not be in vain. Proverbs 28:20a says, A faithful man shall abound with blessings:… What encouraging promises God gives us if we will just stay faithful to Him!
