One of the best things any parent can do is to teach his or her child to be loyal and kind.
As the child learns the importance of these qualities and puts them into practice, he or she will grow into an adult who never lacks friends and never lacks influence.
Why? Because the world will always be filled with people hungry for someone loyal and kind to them.
As we all know, we all have people in our circles of influence aren’t loyal to us and aren’t kind to us.
When we do find such people, though, it is precious to us and we want to maintain those relationships.
Please, be loyal and kind to others. Write these commitments on your heart.
It’s what God wants from us and it’s what others need from us.
“Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.” (Proverbs 3:3-4)
The more that we do this, the more we’ll influence people for the sake of God’s Kingdom.
As always, I love you
Martin
