Opportunities to be be faithful come across sometimes in a way that we don't like.
It kind of has an unpleasant, unimportant, even belittling feeling to us.
We see it as a low position, perhaps something that you do if you can't do anything else, but Jesus said it is actually the greatest thing of all.
"He that is the greatest is the servant of all".
Does it mean you have to do menial things to fit into the profile of a servant? The answer is a big NO.
I believe that no matter what we're doing, that if we do it with the attitude of being a servant that that's what God's talking about.
The labour required to cultivate this grace can feel unequal to the rewards it offers. Many of us are tempted to forsake the pursuit of it in search of nobler successes or achievements.
A faithful person is reliable, dependable, trustworthy. They give their word to what matters, and then they live as if that word has weight.
A faithful man is as valuable and yet as inconspicuous as a beating heart.
Faithfulness will grow in the same place where the Spirit so often cultivates His fruit: in responsibilities and tasks that feel small, unimportant, ordinary. In other words, in little things.
Our faithfulness here, even in little, is no little matter. In the unremarkable moments of life, God is shaping fickle sons into the image of His Faithful Christ.
You're loved and BLESSED!
