Commitments Shape Your Life
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 your 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.
