My new committments

I have decided that I have new commitments now that I am a Christian. I have to commit to my relationship with God above all else, I have to commit to myself, I have to commit to my needs, I have to commit to my family, and I have to commit to my work. I decided that I needed to commit to these things because these things are Godly things. I have always committed to these things, but now I am one hundred thousand island dressing percent sure that I want to stick with these things. So, let’s go over how I’m going to commit to each one of these things

Committing to my relationship with God

            Committing to God involves much more than just praying, reading your bible, going to church, and loving God, even though all of these things will help us to get there. Committing to God means to saying no to the things that can hurt you but are appealing. It means loving people even when they don’t love you back. It means standing up for the right thing even when it is difficult to do so.

            Remember this, that a praying man is a strong man. It is so true! The reason why is because if we have God at our side, if we stick closer to God than a child sticks to his mother, then we can rest easily, do things that are harder, and always be sure that God will be the one to pick up the pieces when you fail.

I have to commit to myself

            Committing to myself means that I commit to a life of learning and development because in this life we are never done learning.

            A good way to develop yourself is by educating yourself on the things that you need to educate yourself in. If I want to secure my financial future, then I could invest and read some stocks books, or maybe I could invest in college, or do something to develop my own self-being.

            Investing in yourself doesn’t always mean monetarily, it could also mean physically. I could work out to make myself stronger and healthier.

I have to commit to my family

            Committing to my family means helping my family at all times, being a light to them, being a blessing to them, and doing the right move even when it is difficult. I know that if I become a dad, then my commitments would no longer be my friends, but rather, my commitment is my wife and kids. My wife and kids need me every single day, so I can’t go out and eat burritos every Tuesday anymore or go out to play pool with my friends anymore. Right now, my commitment to my family is my parents and sisters. I have to be with them because they could need me or miss me or something. Right now that I’m single, I have to develop myself to the point where I can have a wife because having a wife is work, I know that. I know it’s exciting and is a life changing thing having a wife, but it’s also work. I need to prepare myself for that work and dedication by staying true to God first of all, and then working at all of the things that I need to work at myself.

I have to commit to my work

            I know that in all work, I can make money off of it. It’s just a matter of how hard you work in it. God blesses the hard worker, and I know that if I do my best at whatever I’m doing, then God will be the one to take charge of my raises, promotions, job security, job development, etc. etc. You don’t think that God knows what I want and need? He knows and he is always in control of our lives.

            Overall, the first and most important thing that you need to commit to is God. That is the main point of this blog post. You could do any of the rest of these things, but if you do not include God in your plan, you’re planning for failure and vainness.
