Where Your Heart is, There is Your Commitment

The textbook definition of commitment is: something pledged, the state of an instance of being obligated or emotionally impelled. What you commit to good or bad is what you choose to do daily/ regularly, be it, your job, your family, your choice to do nothing…either way you fully commit to what you choose as the routine you fall into everyday. The more responsibility you have the more commitments you’ve made. The determining factor of the direction of our lives is our focus on our commitments and the care and balance of those things. “As a living sacrifice our lives belong to God, and the reward becomes ours. Those who are truly committed to God have the full joy of knowing that they do not have to journey this life alone. Fully committed Christians benefit in a daily walk with a God who is fully committed in His endless love demonstrated in His plan of salvation” – B. Whitaker (WOC Study Bible).
