One of the most ongoing character traits that God desires to develop in all his children, is ‘faithfulness’. Faithfulness is one of the most prized and polished traits that can be obtained in the human heart. This is definitely a work of God in conjunction with human participation. Faithfulness is continuous escalating faith in the word of God coupled with continuous action. The central Characteristic that God rewards is FAITHFULNESS. If you are faithful over a few things, he will make you ruler over much.

Faithfulness can be pictured in a palm tree. When we think of a palm tree we usually see it as a decorative prop associated with beautiful beach front sceneries on tropical islands. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets often serve as the palm tree’s backdrop. But there is more to the palm tree than meets the eye. The palm tree experiences the most severe storm conditions than most other trees. While we see beautiful postcards of palm trees in sunny tropical weather, what we don’t see are the stormy days that the palm tree endures. We don’t see vehement hurricane winds that were blowing so hard that the palm tree appears to laying down on the ground. It rarely breaks off or is uprooted.

The secret to the palm tree is it’s roots. Through stormy, windy conditions, the roots are forced to grow deeper and to wrap around large underground boulders that serve as an anchor for tree. The root system is what makes the palm tree faithful through adverse climate conditions. The palm tree will still be there after the storm and is rewarded with soft breezy sunlite weather. The key to faithfulness is to be deeply rooted and grounded in love. The bible calls us trees of righteousness the planting of the Lord. The bible also admonishes us to be like a tree planted by rivers of water. There’s always a fruitfulness in being faithful. God always reward those who are faithful.
