Fair -Weather Fans Beware!

Loyalty is not simply a commitment to folks and things when it is all great. It is sticking with people, causes, and projects even when things might not be going so well. When a friend falls, we do not abandon them, but we are there to pick them up and help them back on their path. When plans and projects seem to be weakening, we don't simply bail out for something more popular, but we dig deep to see how we can rescue the cause and perhaps strengthen the plans. Look at the example God set forth for us:

But God demonstrated His own love toward us, in that yet while we were still SINNERS, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

It is popular to abandon ship when things seem down and out. Bandwagons are full of fair weather fans. Judas thought the Sanhedrin had it right. People rejected a future president from Illinois once as he ran for Senate. Jesus thought you and I were to die for! I prefer to see things through. While all projects won't succeed, one can learn through failure . . . many times much more than through successes. Look at what God has accomplished through sinners like you and me! Fair-weather fans beware . . . the sun (SON)is always shining somewhere!
