1 Peter 4:18-19
And, if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner? So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
Commit.
And, if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner? So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
Commit.
We are back to either we believe or we don't only this time it is either we fully commit or we don't.
I am learning that there is no halfway with God.... It is either all in or out. In our world, we offer so many programs, alternatives, different paths, etc.... But in this, in God, there is only one way and it entails a whole heart not part....
Commit. But what if? But what in case of? No....buts, ifs or ands....but commit. Can we do that?
Can we say, "No matter what God...no matter what. I am fully committed...and not look back.
I think that is the commitment we are all striving for....and I say strive for because it seems to be a commitment that can be found through knowing God more and more. Each step we take, each yes to Him, each time we turn away from the world and full on to Him...we align ourselves to see how magnificent this life can truly be.... Even amidst craziness, death, disappointment and despair...we find joy.
We can stop at anytime, I guess, freewill and all.... But once you've tasted the freedom only found in Christ there is no going back....
Commit. Say full-in. No matter what.....and mean it.
