Commitment

Scripture Reading: John 2:1-12

Focus Verses: John 2:1-2  "On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.  Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.”

True love is making a commitment to each other for life.  What is a commitment?  I can remember when I was a young child it was rare to hear of a married couple getting a divorce.  Now, it is a bit more common.  Secondly, I can remember when business partners could complete a business deal with a hand shake.  Not anymore.  Now lawyers must draw us contracts that both parties must sign to hold each other to the deal.   Still, contracts are broken and settlements are made in court.  This is not how God intended for us to treat commitment. 

As Christians we are to stand by our commitments.  Marriages should be a life long commitment to each other and if you make a business deal with someone, keep your commitment that you have agreed on with that person.  Your word is at stake.  Let the world see that as Christians we can stand by our commitments.  God stands by his commitments and so should we.  Seek God and He will help you keep your commitments.
