When we do, we are promised length of days and years of life. God's hand of blessing will be upon us. But those who waste their youth and abuse the gift of life that God has given them will find misery and pain as they grow older. Let us sparkle with God's love as long as the water of our life is flowing. May we not waste the precious moments that God has given us.
People start things and then just as abruptly, they quit.
They change friends, change jobs, change churches and even change spouses at an alarming rate. It used to be that you could count on people to be there for you. Now employees can't count on their jobs being there, churches can't count on their pastors staying, and children can't even count on their parents to stay married. But God says that we need to learn loyalty, and we need to learn faithfulness. If you are the kind of person that others can count on, you will be a rare individual.
