Faithfullness is an attribute of heavenly romance that is extremely misunderstood. How can you be faithfull to someone before you even meet? Isn’t faithfulness a quality that becomes important once a relationship already exists?
Well, just like Norman Rockwell could have never expected to paint a timeless masterpiece if he had never taken an art lesson in his entire life, neither can you expect to master the art of faithfulness if you wait until the wedding bells chime to start practicing it.
Though only a few can be successfull at painting a timeless masterpiece on a canvas, we are all commanded by God to be successful in mastering the art of faithfulness. Faithfullness is a discipline that is refined and honed through years of practice. Over time it becomes a habit. In a sense, it is learning to love your future spouse through patiently waiting, consistently hoping, and living by the high standard to which you’ve been called. I like to picture faithfullness as an oak tree, which patiently endures the torrid winds and rains, only to become stronger and more solid as a result. It is strength learned through persevering; it is integrity gained through waiting. It is imperative to the “beauty_full side of love.” Being single is not a disease; it is a time to learn to be patient to your future spouse and growing strong as well as wiser.
