| “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.” |
| —Proverbs 3:3-4 |
As I’ve discussed before on this blog, certain qualities exist which greatly enhance the richness of our lives. Among those qualities are God-breathed love and God-induced faithfulness.
God certainly stands as the finest possible representative of both love and faithfulness. He pours His love out upon those He chooses to call to Himself. He marks their lives with His faithful connection. He has promised to never leave us and to never forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5).
Take note of what King Solomon has stated, as recorded in Proverbs 3:3-4:
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
Here, Solomon describes the great benefit of allowing the Holy Spirit to imbue us with God-given love and God-given faithfulness. In fact, Solomon suggests that we bind them around our necks and write them on the tablets of our hearts. Why? So they will always be with us and we will never forget these sterling qualities. They represent God’s divine Presence in our lives.
By following the quest of sharing these qualities with others, we show forth God’s love and His faithfulness. In so doing, we allow the Holy Spirit to use us as God’s ambassadors. Our display of these qualities plants a seed of God into the hearts and minds of those who cross the pathway of our lives.
As we begin a new day, let’s not fail to display these God-given qualities of love and faithfulness. As we do, let’s pray that they will take hold of people’s lives in such a way that they will hear God calling to them to receive the gift of eternal life that He has chosen to give them.
