Pondering Purpose and My Current State of Life

Currently, life has led me to a unique place. This past weekend my babe and girlfriend of 4 years took me to see the ring she has picked out. It is beautiful and on her finger it is even more amazing. I'm realizing more and more everyday how important commitment is to my everyday life.

Commitment defines purpose.
Purpose depends on commitment.

Not only in our relationships but in our jobs.
Not only in our thoughts but in our actions.
Not only in our strengths but in our weaknesses.

Our commitment does not rely on our potential.
However, our potential is measured by the commitment made.

Christ committed Himself to die for the sins of the world. Even in the midst of doubt - Christ trusted as He prayed in the garden. He committed Himself to the cause. He was committed to others. He was committed to the poor and oppressed. He was committed for the sake of others. He committed Himself in the desert.

He pressed through, broke through, and challenged.
He loved, obeyed, and freed.

All because of commitment.
