Commitment
Christians are called to live out their commitment to Christ, and only Him. Not friends, not family, not their favorite style of music or their pet peeve in life. Just Christ. What Christ is committed to doing, that also must we commit to do, and always in Christlike love, hope, and compassion.

Amen sister,
If Christ is the Lord of our lives, He must be the Lord of all areas of our lives, with nothing taking His rightful place but all surrendered to His feet, and in putting His will above ours.
In Him,

Matthew 6:24 (New International Version)
"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Matthew 10:37-39 (New International Version)
"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 16:24-27 (New International Version)
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.
John 14:12-15; 21; 23-24 New International Version (NIV)
John 14:12-15
I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
"If you love me, you will obey what I command.
John 14:21
Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
John 14:23-24
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
Hi Lawrence,
Amen... thanks for sharing.
Love in Him,
Brooke
