![]() ![]() He taught us to be faithful to His cause to believe in His name and do the same things He did. ![]() Jesus showed us the way to being committed. True commitment has gotten a bad reputation of being too restrictive too demanding on our time and resources. Today’s society is soft on commitment– whether it is to stick with a difficult relationship and work through the issues, following through on a job commitment or keeping your word. His act of obedience required trusting His Father and knowing that His cause would save the world. His Father sent Him, He obeyed and though He asked that this cup be taken from Him, ultimately He chose to follow through on His commitment. Jesus made a commitment to go to the cross. Yes, being committed will require restrictions on your time, but true commitment brings a sense of well-being and accomplishment. In my opinion, being dedicated to a cause and following through with action steps does not restrict freedom but enhances freedom freedom to be “all-in” freedom to pour into something that you believe in freedom to have a voice and make a difference. The first definition is positive and points to being dedicated to a cause but the second definition has a negative connotation implying that commitment is an obligation that restricts our freedom.ĭepending on how you look at these definitions may define how you view commitment. an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action.the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc.I am intrigued by two definitions I found via Google (2017) on commitment: What does it mean to be fully committed? Why is commitment important? Why is it so difficult to be committed or stick with a commitment? I have been thinking lately a lot about commitment.
