Loyalty

"Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, But who can find a trustworthy man?" Proverbs 20:6

I am loyal to a fault. You know when you go on job interviews and people ask you what your best and worst quality is? I always say that I am loyal as my best quality. However, lately, I am beginning to wonder if it is one of my worst qualities. I only say this because I am loyal to those I love and cherish, and I am not so loyal to those that rub me the wrong way. I need to work on this. I also get very hurt and feel quite sorry for myself when people are not as loyal as I believe they should be to me. Instead, I need focus on my actions and not worry so much about others. It is wonderful that I am so loyal, but who am I to demand it in return. I think I will focus on this as the new year approaches.

WOW! I could have written that post because it sounds just like me. I feel a bit betrayed by someone I thought was a close friend, but I'm not sure that is the case anymore. Maybe I'm over-reacting, but it still stings a bit. This whole loyalty thing can be the best or worst part of my character...I'm not really sure.
