Becoming Faithful

Showing up when no one is watching

Becoming faithful is rarely loud.

It doesn’t announce itself.

It doesn’t rush to be seen.

There’s an old saying my grandmother used to say:

“If I can’t trust you with the little things, how can I trust you with a lot?”

And the older I get, the more I understand the weight of that wisdom.

Faithfulness is built in the small things —

the unseen choices,

the quiet yeses,

the promises kept when it would be easier to walk away.

Your word becomes your bond not because it’s convenient,

but because it costs you something to keep it.

So often we think faithfulness is about the big moments —

the callings, the platforms, the visible wins.

But God watches how we steward what’s already in our hands.

How we love when no one applauds.

How we serve when it goes unnoticed.

How we remain consistent when the excitement fades.

Faithfulness is not perfection.

It is persistence.

It’s continuing to show up —

even when you feel overlooked,

even when you’re tired,

even when the reward hasn’t arrived yet.

God doesn’t entrust much to those chasing recognition.

He entrusts much to those who can be trusted.

Becoming faithful means understanding this truth:

what you do in the quiet seasons prepares you for the louder ones.

And sometimes, the greatest evidence of faith

is simply staying.
