"It means to adhere to the standard that God has established for every facet of living. It is following through on one’s commitments to God, others, and self. It places a high value on being counted on to do what has been agreed upon."

"A faithful person does not just start things but sees them through to completion. It requires determination and commitment to go the distance while facing temptations to give up. There are no shortcuts to growing up for anyone. Maturity requires long-term resolve to character building often at a personal cost."

"Faithfulness is being trustworthy no matter what. Whatever you commit to doing, you do. You value your reputation and willingly make the necessary investment of yourself to maximize your spiritual fruit of faithfulness . . ."

"Rather than viewing being faithful as an obligation to endure, look at it as an ongoing opportunity to act maturely and build your track record of reliability and trustworthiness. Consider everything in your life a gift from God to be managed well so that he is pleased with your effort and will be glorified because of it."
