If you’re anything like me, your ears are craving and longing to hear God say this to you.  Sometimes the mere thought of me standing before my Saviour and have Him speak these words over me makes me want to weep.  I pray that my life would be worthy of such a moment, though only by the grace of God would that be possible.

As a newlywed I am learning what it means to be faithful to my husband. But a thought occurred to me this week: what does it mean to be faithful to God? What does that look like?  For me, being faithful to God means upholding justice in a broken world and being the hands and feet of Jesus to victims of sex trafficking.  I realized that if I back out on this calling, I am being unfaithful to God.

I read Jesus’ words in Matthew 25:45 this week: “I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these, you were refusing to help me.” Many in this world view women and girls as scum of the earth, simply to be taken advantage of and used.  Trafficked girls really are viewed as “the least of these” and by helping them, I am loving Jesus.  I am being faithful to Him.

Being faithful can be exhausting, scary, and discouraging at times. But let’s be persistent, fight the good fight, love more than we ever thought possible…and at the end of our lives we can collapse in the arms of Jesus and know that it was all worth it.
