You’ve probably heard it said, You never get a second chance to make a first impression. 

Proverbs 3:3,4 is a bit of a follow-on to that expression saying, “Never tire of loyalty and kindness. Hold these virtues tightly. Write them deep within your heart, If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment” From TLB version.  

The NIV bible version text uses the virtues of “Love and Faithfulness,” and the RSV version uses “Loyalty and Faithfulness.”

Regardless of the bible version; Loyalty, Kindness, Love, and Faithfulness, are  virtues we need to work on to truly be the Christian brothers and sisters God  wants us to be.

Dear Lord, we thank you that you first showed us Love, Loyalty, Kindness and Faithfulness.  Help us keep these virtues in the front of our minds throughout our days and use them with those we encounter.  In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen
