¶ Defining True Loyalty
Who is the most loyal person you've ever known ? A parent , a spouse , maybe A friend ? Truthfully , we all crave loyalty . It gives us a sense of safety . We feel that if there's some loyalty in our world , it's like a warm blanket on a cold night . Life seems less scary .
As we discuss the role of Jesus in our personal stories , it's good to remind ourselves often of ultimate loyalty . In turn , it encourages us to be loyal to that one person we can always count on . John 14 , 6 says Jesus answered I am the way and the truth and the life . No one comes to the Father except through me .
Jesus gives us loyalty that cannot be broken . Are we willing to stay true to him ? In other words , if life's roads get rough , do we stay on the path that he set for us ? Like Peter , we tend to think nothing could pry us from Jesus . But our choices can , and then we regret being disloyal to Christ . Resolve to never let that happen to you .
Keep his sacrifice for you in your mind and in your heart . That'll help you stay true to him when life isn't so great . He promised to never leave you . Tell Jesus that you love him for that and keep your eyes looking ahead to the eternity that he's made for you . Let's pray , lord . Make us strong in our loyalty to our Savior .
Let that light shine for those who see us In Jesus' name , amen . The Caruso Daily Devotional is also available as a daily email Amen .
