Proverbs 3:3 - Let love and faithfulness never leave you...

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

We are to pay special care to being merciful and truthful. These attributes "win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man" (Prov 3:4). We are to wear these attributes around our neck like a permanent necklace and write them on our hearts like a tablet.

Mercy and truth are at the core of who we need to be inwardly and how we act outwardly.
