Loyal
To Who
Good
Evening,
I
pray all of you have been well since my last message. I tell you when this message
hit me it was like a ton of bricks falling on me from the sky. I titled this
message as I did because it seems so many of us are making life altering
decision out of a false sense of loyalty. There have been so many acts of
murders being committed out of loyalty to gangs, neighborhoods, drug related and
etc. I have to be the voice of truth for those of you who may be in bondage to
the mentality of this loyalty. I just need you to stop and think about the consequences
of this loyalty. Will this loyalty be present when jail time is knocking at
your door? Will this loyalty be present when your own life is at risk? Will
this loyalty be present when the mental anguish of taking someone’s life sets
in your mind? I say to you if you’re going to be loyal to anything be loyal to
yourself, your future, and God. If no one believes in you I believe in you that
you are bigger than your circumstances, bigger than your environment in which
you were raised, and the future is worth more than a momentary act of violence.
So many times we also allow loyalty to
hold us in bondage to bad relationships as well! If the relationship isn’t
helping you grow and it’s causing more complication then elevation then why is
the see of this false sense of loyalty holding you there? What happens when the
scars from this relationship of loyalty hinders you from healing? What happens when
this sense of loyalty turns to violence with the relationship? What happens when
the sense of loyalty causes you to lose yourself, lose your confidence, and
lose your drive to live? If you’re going to be loyal to a relationship then it
should reflect the love you give,
engulfed in the respect you deserve, elevate the mind and spirit beyond
your understanding, and breathe life into the relationship at all times. Be
wise and always be loyal to the love you have for yourself so then you are
brave enough to see things clearly and make right decisions.
I
believe or not we often show a sense of loyalty to materialism as well. What I mean
is many of us will sell our soul by doing certain acts against ourselves just
to have things such as the latest fashion, the newest car, the certain designer
label, and much more. Now this loyalty is very dangerous because it comes with
a reward of the things you love so its justified in your mind. You have to be
very wise and honest with yourself in this one and remove the dirt from your
vision. This loyalty will leave you with stressful days, crying nights, and emptiness
within your soul. If you’re going to be loyal to something be loyal to the
constant growth of who you are from the inside out. Be loyal to mastering who
you are and rising above any situation and all these things will be attributes
to who you are and not who you are.

Loyalty is a great trait to have, but it’s what we are loyal to that’s dangerous.
