“Loyalty that lasts a Lifetime”

Loyalty is a precious quality that is underrated in our world we live in. Yet it is something we all need in our world today. Without it the fabric of our society would start to crumble. Without loyalty our families, businesses, communities, politics, and our nation weakens if not falls apart.

Loyalty is simple… it means; I am going to stick with you and have your back through good times and bad times. We need that relationship that will never leave us during any storm. In Proverbs it talks about a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

Proverbs 18:24 (NIV)

24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Jesus is the friend that sticks closer than a brother. Nurture the relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we will feel that friendship that is close. Many of us have felt that friendship in times that we need someone to lift us up when we stumble in life. Jesus has our back. He never leaves us.

Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)

6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

忠诚是一种珍贵的品质，但在当今世界却常常被低估。然而，它正是我们这个时代每个人都需要的东西。没有忠诚，我们社会的结构将开始崩塌。缺乏忠诚，我们的家庭、事业、社区、政治乃至整个国家都会变得脆弱，甚至分崩离析。

忠诚其实很简单……它的意思是：无论顺境或逆境，我都会与你同在，支持你。我们都需要那种在风暴中也绝不离弃我们的关系。《箴言》中提到，有一种朋友比弟兄更亲密。

《箴言》18:24（和合本修订）24 滥交朋友的，自取败坏，但有一朋友比弟兄更亲密。

耶稣就是那位比弟兄更亲密的朋友。若我们培养与主耶稣基督的关系，就能真切地感受到那份亲密的友谊。许多人在人生跌倒、需要有人扶持的时候，体会过这份来自耶稣的友谊。耶稣始终支持我们，永不离弃我们。

《申命记》31:6（和合本修订）6 你们当刚强壮胆，不要害怕，也不要因他们惊恐，因为耶和华你的神和你同去；他必不撇下你，也不丢弃你。
