More From Yesterday...

Yesterday, I was writing about commitment, and I stay thinking (really?) about the topic. I start wondering what can help me to be more committing to the things that I want? Things like, do more exercises, eat more healthy, spend more time with my kids, be more organize at home, have better relationship with family and friends, and the most important thing, how I can feel closer to God? As I was reading one of the responds of yesterday blog that said, “Now a commitment is something you avoid” this is true we conscious or unconscious avoid commitment to all cost. Why? Because require sacrifices and time from us, two things that I know, we do not like to give or do. “We don't want to be stuck going to services all the time, or having to follow all the rules. We don't want to commit to God. We'll take him when we need him, or when things are going good” I bet anything that this statement can be applied to the 99% of people, Christian believes or not believers.

So, this morning at work, I was making some coffee and one guy say hi to me, he said, “hi Michele, how are you today?” I just respond “I could be better if I was home doing nothing!” then hit me, why I said that? Instead, I could said, “Good! Thanks to God, even that I which be home doing nothing” You see the difference? If I can commit to include God in all of my responses, maybe I can start be more commit to Him, because will be easier. I will start getting use too the idea of His existence in my life, because I open the doors for Him to enter. God loves us so much, but also, He respect us very much, so if you do not give Him permission to be part of your life, He will not be part of your life, free will!

I believe, that commitment it is hard, but also, can give us a lot more than hard time. Could give happiness, healthier habits, better communication, stability, better mood, and many other positive feelings in our lives. Why you don’t give it a try? I am going to try it, because, I want to feel better, happier, and positive in every aspect of my life. Is not easy and will not change overnight, but I am sure that I will see the positives results soon if I just commit.

Romans 8:28

²⁸ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
