I'm Joyce Meyer, and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

Well, thank you for joining me today on enjoying everyday life.

You know, I've been working on teaching a series on the fruit of the spirit.

And today we're going to teach on the fruit of faithfulness.

God is faithful.

And he puts his fruit in us,

and he wants us to be faithful. What is the definition of faithfulness? Well, it's pretty long in the Webster's 1828 dictionary, which is really a very accurate dictionary.

It's firm in adherence to the truth and to the duties of a relationship with God.

Firmly adhering to duty, to be loyal, constant in the performance of duty or service.

Exact in attending to what an authority has given you to do.

Individuals should be faithful to their word, governments should be faithful to their

constitutions, and we should be faithful to our marriage partner, constant, not fickle,

as a faithful friend or lover, true and worthy of belief.

Now I'm gonna give you a real simple definition.

Stick with it and don't quit.

And do what you're supposed to do right every time,

not just sometimes.
