Commitments Shape Your Life
by Rick Warren
Since everything around us is going to melt away, what holy, godly lives you
should be living! 2 Peter 3:11 (LB)
*** *** *** ***
You don't have to understand all the implications of your decision when you
choose to follow Jesus. You simply need to respond to his invitation, to
make a commitment to follow Christ.
Your commitments shape you life more than anything else. Your commitments
can develop you or they can destroy you, but either way, they will define
you.
Tell me what you're committed to and I'll tell you what you'll be in twenty
years. We become whatever we're committed to.
It is at this very point of commitment that most people miss God's purpose
for their lives. Many are afraid to commit to anything and just drift
through life. Others make half-hearted commitments to competing values,
which lead to frustration and mediocrity. Others make a full commitment to
worldly goals, such as becoming wealthy or famous, and end up disappointed
and bitter.
Every choice has eternal consequences so you need to choose wisely: "Since
everything around us is going to melt away, what holy, godly lives you
should be living!" (2 Peter 3:11 LB).
Christlikeness comes from making Christlike commitments.
