It’s so easy to take the ones that serve you faithfully for granted. I call them “The faithful few.” You see them everyday, you know that they will pickup the phone when you call, if you have a need they will ensure that it’s met. They are faithful to your calling and your purpose. When no one else is around you can call them and they will show up! Many times you don’t know or understand the sacrifices “the faithful” make to accommodate your desires and meet your needs.
My question to you is, have your “faithful” become invisible to you? Has their faithfulness to you now become an expectation? Have you become so comfortable with your “faithful few” that you no longer appreciate them? Are you as faithful to them as they are to you? How would your life change if your “faithful” were to leave you?
Today I’m writing to remind you to protect “the faithful.” A faithful friend is precious and rare! Many will surround you but few will be faithful to you! Many will come but few will stay.
I’m working on this myself. I’m very intentional when it comes to nourishing my faithful. It’s not convenient, I honestly don’t have a lot of extra time, but I value my faithful so I figure something out! I may not be able to talk to them every day but when the days become weeks, I’m checking in to say “hello”, letting them know that they are on my mind, and I appreciate them. I don’t care much for phone conversations, but I will send a text and request available dates for lunch. Even if its only quarterly.
I thank God for my faithfuls!
I dedicate this post to my Faithful Few! I appreciate you, I love you and I couldn’t do what I do without you!
