I woke up early hours of this morning with this heavy thought on COMMITMENT, take time and read this short piece, I hope you find it useful.
Ruth 1:16-18 TPT
But tearfully, Ruth insisted, “Please don’t ask me again to leave you! I want to go with you and stay with you. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will now be my people, and your God will now be my God. [17] Wherever you die, I will die there, too; that’s where your people will bury me—next to you. Nothing but death itself will separate me from you, so help me God!” [18] When Naomi realized that Ruth’s heart was set on going with her, she said nothing more.
Commitment is more than just a promise or a word; it is the unwavering dedication to show up and be involved, regardless of how one feels. It requires a deep sense of responsibility and an understanding that actions speak louder than words.
In our fast-paced and ever-changing world, commitment can sometimes be overlooked or undervalued. However, those who possess true commitment understand its immense power and the impact it can have on their lives and the lives of others.
When we commit, we make a conscious choice to prioritize our goals and responsibilities. It means following through on our commitments, even when faced with obstacles, challenges, or simply when we are not in the mood. Commitment pushes us to go beyond our comfort zones and give our best effort, regardless of external circumstances.
Commitment is especially important in relationships, whether they are personal or professional. In personal relationships, commitment means being present, supportive, and loyal to our loved ones. It means showing up for them, even during difficult times, and investing time and energy to nurture and strengthen the bond.
In the professional realm, commitment is the driving force behind success. It means being dedicated to our work, consistently delivering high-quality results, and maintaining professional integrity. It involves going the extra mile, being proactive, and taking ownership of our contributions.
Commitment is not always easy, and there may be moments when it feels challenging or overwhelming. However, those who embrace and exemplify commitment understand that it is during these moments of adversity that their true character shines through.
Ultimately, commitment is a choice we make to live with purpose and uphold the values we hold dear. It is a reflection of our integrity and the level of importance we place on our personal and professional endeavors. By embracing commitment as the ability to show up and be involved irrespective of how one feels, we can unlock our full potential and make a lasting impact on the world around us.
I call you blessed.
