Love and Faithfulness


Proverbs 3:3-4

Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
    bind them around your neck,
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
    in the sight of God and man.

Continuing on from last week, Proverbs 3 is giving us instructions on how we should live in order to have a good life as God intended for us.  Here we are told to love and be faithful.  To bind them around our neck and write them on the tablet of our heart.  In other words, be clothed in love and faithfulness.  If we are clothed in them, others will surly see that in us. 

Being liked by others is often something we want in life.  Here we are told that by clothing ourselves in love and faithfulness, we will win favor and a good name in the sight of both God and man.  This is something that I know I find to be a desire of my heart. 

So how do we cloth ourselves or bind them around our neck and write them on the tablet of our heart?  What this really means is that you live it in all things.  It sounds so simple yet it can really be a challenge. 

How can you show others that you are clothed in love and faithfulness?
