Loyalty

Loyalty

 

There are few better words, if any, then to have someone describe you withthe word loyal. When someone uses that word to describe you they are saying that you are reliable, trusted, sincere and that your word is your existence. When you are called loyal, someone is  saying that you two share a special bond.

 

                But I have one question. When can loyalty become a negative in a relationship? I think the answer is simply this, when your loyalty becomes blind. I have seen too many people (including myself) remain loyal to someone who is no longer loyal to them. When that happens, you too must break your bond of loyalty with that person.

 

                When someone who was once loyal to you finds themselves no longer living loyalty out in your bond, you must now discard that person until you see true repentance. Even then, you must make sure it is exactly that, true repentance.  You can never allow your loyalty to become a blind trust.

 

We must be quick to forgive, but also not taken advantage of. Somewhere in there lies a delicate balance.
