Commitment; some say that very word has ended many relationships, Others say that committing yourself to something is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. I say that commitment is about your character; are your actions as good as your words.
In relationships at some point you have to decide that it is worth investing yourself in, this goes beyond the emotions you associate with the relationship. Once you have decided that it is worth the price, you open yourself to the growing the relationship. Now you own the relationship and therefore committed to seeing it grow. Your ability to stay caring, loyal and devoted is what "makes" the relationship work.
If you put yourself out there for your team and tell them your goal is their success, you have made a commitment that will ride on your willingness to follow through. If you fail to do the things you have said you will do, you will lose trust and respect, without these two things your team will crash and burn.
It is easy to say that you are committed to something, but the real test to your commitment will happen in the middle of a crisis when you are least expecting it. Can you stay committed to the cause through this adversity? Your "skills", knowledge and abilities have nothing to do with your level of commitment and can not save you from your true character. Because at the heart of your committment you have a choice to make and no matter the situation or circumstances your choice is a direct reflection of who you really are.
We are only a few weeks away from our move to the PAC and I know that God has wonderful things in store for us. God has truly blessed our Church with right people to lead and develop us into the Team we need to be to met our mission in Kyle. We all have the emotion we need get things started, but lets not forget the Commitments we made to get us all the way.
Remember we aren't doing all of this to buy some land and build a church, We are doing this to bring lives to Jesus Christ, we are doing this to change the lives of everyone we meet. That is the real mission, Jesus Christ ask us for a commitment, Are you committed to HIM.
If your life is ground in Jesus Christ, if you values are Christ like, if you truly are a servant leader then there is no choice to make; You will stand by your convictions and commitments through all adversity.
God Bless
