Who is Loyal

Who Is Loyal?

Who is loyal? What is loyalty? I ordered a gift set from my client/friend a few weeks ago. When she brought the gift to me, I noted her hair was freshly serviced. I had to take a double take, seeing it wasn't my work.

Not wanting to assume the obvious, I asked her had she just had her hair serviced, as I could smell the fresh products, she replied, "Yes." Totally surprised and feeling territorial, I asked her, "You allowed someone else to do your hair?" She said, "...well, I just wanted to help her out a little bit, but I told her, 'You know I'm loyal.'"

Well, she's been my client and friend for over fifteen years and weekly client for about two years. After not seeing her for the following four weeks, I began to worry a bit about the sincerity of her "loyalty" statement. Well… she was true to her word. We are …now back in stride again ...it seems. I've done her last two services.

To be loyal is to be faithful, true, devoted to a cause, a person or institution, Google says. To be loyal is a great character trait to possess. It is one that would be great if we all possessed it, especially married couples.

Spouses that are loyal have longer marriages. Spouse that are loyal have the tools to overcome adversities, because they will work at it a bit harder and longer.

How loyal are we? We never know until it is put to the test. What we say and what we do are two different entities. Peter was so seriously loyal to Jesus in his heart soul and mind, until tested. In Matthews 26:35-43, He said he would die with Him if need and his heart was sincere. However, he couldn't do the simple and watch as Jesus went away to pray. Then later, He would deny him three times. Luke 22:54-62. read more...
