Commitment is one of the most important parts of the human experience, particularly when we speak about relationships. Commitment is, in a sense, the single vital aspect of every vibrant and successful relationship. It is our commitment that permits us to love during the hardships, to cover a fault when we need to care for another, and to put the other first for the purpose of love.
Needles to say, this is more than a difficult endeavor if not downright impossible for us to do. It is, however, this very thing that God demands of us. Commitment to Him, to our spouses, and to the people in our lives. But in this commandment He has given us assistance: His Spirit, which guides us and leads us to commit completely.
Therefore, if we are struggling to commit, it is not that we should simply strive harder in our own strength, but that we should seek after His direction for our lives with praise and supplication. This is the very essence and the intent of commitment, while it is also a statement about how we should commit with vigor to those commitments that fill our lives.
Let us then always seek then to commit in every area of our lives.
