Jamey's Newsletter: Sunday, October 8, 2023
Let's talk about being consistent.
Consistency, in its essence, is a reflection of reliability. Consistency answers the question, "Is this person reliable?" Over time, the question answers itself.
Consistency is not just about trusting others; it's also about trusting oneself. Personal growth and development often hinge on consistent efforts. Consistent behavior reveals a person who has self-discipline.
Our time is valuable. We only have so much. If I am going to invest my time, I want to know that it is with someone who has shown consistency. It's a quality that signals that you can be counted on.
Consistency emerges as a beacon of reliability in a world filled with unpredictability and change. It's a quality that, when demonstrated over time, can forge bonds of trust that are difficult to break.
Are you known as someone who can be counted on? Are you consistent?

Gracious God,
We come before You with grateful hearts, recognizing the abundance You have given us. Guide us, O Lord, in using these resources wisely, not just for our comfort, but to uplift and care for those around us. May we be channels of Your love and grace, always seeking opportunities to serve and bless others. Teach us to be generous, just as You have been generous to us. Let our hands be an extension of Your hands and our hearts a reflection of Your heart. Amen.
