The Power of Commitment

It amazes me how powerful our mind and will can be, when they work together for a common good. In accomplishing goals, we have to set our mind on the goal and commit to seeing it through. We can’t just start something without vision and determination, and expect for everything to fall into place and we receive what we want. We have to set our mind on the goal, and commit to seeing it to completion no matter what obstacles come our way. Without that whole hearted commitment, we will never finish anything we start. We will be fickle and unstable. We will be tossed to and fro like the wind, because we have not planted our foot and grounded ourselves to be like oak trees. We become easily frightened and discouraged when the first wind blows. We faint by the first heat wave beating on our backs. We try to go through the motion and hope we get to our goal; Nonsense. When has anybody ever accomplished anything without committing wholeheartedly to something?

What stops me from committing to things is fear of making a mistake. Fear of starting something and being stuck with it, then realizing that it wasn’t something I should have been doing or I even truly liked. Commitment takes time, effort, dedication, passion and sacrifice. Nothing comes easy. When you are committed to something, regardless of what will come your way, something powerful happens. All of heaven is behind you, because you have activated the currency of heaven; faith. You have begun to believe and hope in something you can’t and have not seen. You have decided to hold onto something that might not even workout. You have decided to believe for the impossible and fight through all madness to acquire that which you desire.

I am learning to not be afraid of committing, that even if I commit to something that I shouldn’t have, but had good intensions, that God is faithful and just to bring me through my mistakes. His grace is more than enough to restore and accelerate me to glory from the craziness of my decisions. I refuse to be stifled and frozen by fear. I choose to embrace and live in God’s love that casts out all fear.
