Reliable
We all want to be friends with that person who is reliable.
Reliable people are the ones you can depend on. They are the ones you can call
on when you're in a pinch and need a helping hand. Reliable people get things
done. I had a great example of reliability in my parents. If they made a promise
to do something, it would be done, and it would be done well. That's something
I'm still working on.
A friend of mine falls into the category of reliable. She is
always the first in line to fix a meal, bring a treat, or take care of any job that
needs doing. I want to be like her when I grow up.
A few years back I was convicted about my own reliability. A
friend of mine desperately needed some help. She didn't call on me at that
time, but I had to think about what I would have done if she had called me. Would I have told her I was too busy? Would I have dropped everything and ran to her
immediately? I honestly can't answer about what I would have done that night,
but it sure has made me aware of what I will do should I ever get that "I
need help" call from a friend in the future.
I want to be reliable. I want to be there for those who need
me. I want to be the light of Christ. But, the only way I know I can be
reliable is when God is at work through me. I want to work on being more
reliable this week and in all the weeks to come.
