Put up or....

I read this verse in Proverbs this morning: "many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful man who can find?" I kind of feel God saying to me "Tim - don't talk about how much you love me; be faithful to love me". 

Acting in love is way harder than saying I love something. I mean don't words just roll off our tongues so easily? But ask someone to act on what they say and the ante has just gone way up. People fold at that point. The stakes are too high and they're not willing to go the distance.

Those of us who claim to love and follow Christ need to set a radically high bar for faithfulness. I want to be faithful and I hope you do too. Let's put up, ok?
