Consistency

Traversing the journey requires a commitment to consistency to live and act for the long term. If ever I have seen a model of those qualities it is in the person of Anthony Mayeski. He and his dear wife, Ruby, stopped in to see us at the Ministry Center for prayer. What a joy to gather around these two saints of God to pray in faith for God's healing touch to be manifested in his life.

Those of you who know Bro. Mayeski are aware that he has that precious smile that radiates the presence of the Lord. In spite of the physical challenges he faces, his attitude is positive, he is encouraging, and filled with faith, and exudes the confidence that comes from a life in relationship to Christ. I have never seen him criticize others or find fault with people around him. He is a role model to me and he has my deepest respect.

I have met individuals that could take a lesson from Bro. Mayeski in how to live 1 Corinthians 13. There are times for all of us that we feel left out, forsaken, discouraged, or neglected. The attitude we portray comes back to us. Whatever a person sows he will reap. Before we criticize others or find fault with people around us, under us, or over us, we would do well to test our own hearts and come into line with God's Word. Traversing the journey successfully requires self-examination rather than critically examining others.
