A wealthy old man was very excited about his lovely young bride but sometimes wondered whether she might have just married him for his money, so he asked, “If I lost all my money, would you still love me?” She responded, “Of course I would still love you. Don’t be silly. But I sure would miss you!”
The word of the day is commitment. We need a commitment that goes much deeper than material possessions.
When it comes to parenting, we need a commitment that will not abandon our children when the going gets tough.
When it comes to marriage, we need a commitment that holds on through the storms that you will face.
When it comes to business, we need a commitment to integrity and morality that will stand against the temptation to take the short cut.
When it comes to your personal life, you need a commitment to Jesus Christ that is resolute, unwavering and settled.
Jesus said there would be a cost to commitment. There would be a cost to following Him.
Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Yes, there is a cost to commitment. But there is a greater reward at the end of the road of commitment.
Make a commitment to the ones you love most today. Make a commitment to the things that matter most today. Your reward will be great.
