Together in Faith: But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you. 2 Thessalonians 3:3

God’s faithfulness invites our own. We are told that God is faithful not just for information, but for encouragement. We express our faithfulness in many ways, of course… but the main ways are by loving God and loving our neighbor as ourselves. How do I show my faithfulness today?
