Reliability

How many people do you know that are totally reliable? How many people are the same, no matter what comes against them? How many people can be trusted to be the same person no matter of they are approached by a poor homeless person or a rich businessman? How many people can trusted to follow Me at every opportunity and in every situation? Can you be reliable or do you change your behavior depending on who you are dealing with? Will you speak for half an hour to a homeless man when a pretty girl is available to talk to you are the same time? Will you sit down and shoot the breeze with prostitutes and homeless people when you could be discussing Me and doctrine with a visiting prophet?

One thing that I was is reliable. If someone had a question and the person wasn't try to trap Me with an answer I was to give, I gave the Teachers of the Law and the harlot the same attention when I framed My answers. I was the same Jesus to every person that came to Me. I had the time to touch lives, to make people think and to challenge the thought patterns of the world whoever I was. At a dinner party I could be found with the publicans and tax collectors table and the teachers of the Law used to get offended with Me as they felt that they were more deserving of My time and My knowledge. But who would you prefer to talk to, someone who challenged everything that you said, or someone that was so hungry for everything that you had to say that hung on your every word?

People are watching you. People don't want to see that you show favouritism with the people you would give your time to. People want to know that you can be trusted. People want to know that you don't change your story depending on who you are addressing. People want to know that you can be reliable with your words and your actions. The first person that needs to commit to being reliable is not your friends, it is you. The world does not need to change, people don't have to join you in your new way of life, you can really be a maverick and change and go from being different with every  person to becoming reliable. Try it out. It will change your life and you outcomes. I promise you!
