John Leong Poet Rhyme

Faithfulness

There is a word to "be faithful"
to God and man, be all fruitful;
be true in thy nightly prayers
be far from all the naysayers.

Even this is oh! so precious
as hidden gold in buried treasures;
required of by the Lord
that should surely mean a lot!

To be faithful to the Lord
means prayers daily sought;
to be faithful to mankind
means loving, being kind!

You won't regret this ever soon
your heart to God,your hand to man;
when Christ comes this afternoon
you won't be caught in evil's den.

So pray this day to be faithful
make it a point to follow through;
and in the End you shall smile bright
confess the Lord, it's in His Might!

Amen!

The Book of Galatians 5: 22-23 states:
v. 22: In contrast, the Fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience (long suffering),
kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
v.23: gentleness, self control.
Against such there is no law.

Amen!

John Leong September 6, 2017 at 11:12 AM there are many variations to "faithfulness", some feel it strongly refers to honesty in a relationship while others may feel it gravitates towards the Divine, how we behave towards Him. personally, i choose the latter, as prayers are so important in walking this path. let us pray the Lord will see our determination and grant us the blessings we truly need. Amen!
