Proverb 3

Daily Devotional from Proverb 3—

Verse 3
Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.

We are encouraged here to wear love and faithfulness in two places: like a necklace – where people can see it, and written on our hearts – where God can see it.

As followers of Jesus, if there are just two characteristics we should be focused on growing in always, they are love and faithfulness. Like a big flashy, blingy necklace that draws all eyes to it, should be the love we have towards others, and the unwavering commitment to God and our brothers and sisters in Christ. A pure, Jesus-like love will help us stay faithful when times are hard, we disagree, or our faith is shaken.

More than that though, love and faithfulness should be written on our hearts – that’s what GOD should see when He looks at us. And it takes practice. Love is a verb. Faith is active. What are you going to do today to keep growing in love and faithfulness?
