We should aim daily to have the virtues of Stedfast Love and Faithfulness around our necks. The life that we live as a follower of Jesus Christ calls for these virtues. If these things are not in our lives, we should stop and pray, not doing or saying harmful things. Stedfast Love and Faithfulness can really help to make us good Disciples of Jesus Christ.
