Faithful Cycles: When Loyalty Goes Too Far
Real Life. Real Struggles. Real Truth.
Truth Cycle:
Loyalty is a virtue until it becomes a trap. You stay. You give. You endure. Not because it’s right, but because you don’t want to let someone down. You’re loyal to people who wouldn’t cross the room for you. You tell yourself it’s love, or duty, or just how you’re wired but deep down, you’re tired.
Biblical Truth:
God calls us to be faithful but not foolish. Loyalty to people should never come at the cost of loyalty to truth.
“It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” Psalm 118:8 (NKJV)
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers… what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 (NKJV)
“The righteous should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray.” Proverbs 12:26 (NKJV)
Quick Word:
Loyalty isn’t blind. Be loyal to God first and let that loyalty lead you to the right people, not just familiar ones.
