I remember a time in my life when commitment meant something. Your word was your ‘bond’ and a handshake ‘sealed’ the deal. Your actions spoke louder than your words. Marriage was sacred and when a couple did get married, it was for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness or health and your covenant said I am committed until death do us part. Forty seven years ago, I made that commitment to the one I loved. There have been good times and bad times, the richer poorer thing and both of us had been through the health struggles. How did we make it? Because we both made a commitment to the One who says “I will never leave you nor forsake you” - - His Name is Jesus Christ. He has never broken His commitment to us and He never will. He loved you so much that He kept His commitment to be hung on the Cross “so you might have life and life more abundantly” (John 10:10). Sometimes commitment is difficult, sometimes costly, and sometimes stressful but it’s worth it and great reward will follow.
Devotion written by Senior Pastor; David A Delaria
Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions and the actions that speak louder than your words. It is making the time when there is none, coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff that character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.
