All In or All Out When I’m into something or someone, I’m all in – like, no half measures. It’s not just a casual thing; it’s a full-blown commitment. I’m there through the ups, downs, and all the messy in-betweens. But, if I decide to bail, it’s not a flippant move. It’s a conscious uncoupling, you know? I unravel myself from the situation, shake off the vibes, and redirect my mojo. It’s not…

Choosing Love Over & Over I’m really hoping to meet someone who’s not afraid to be completely open about their feelings with me. I want a person who can look into my eyes with vulnerability, allowing their emotions to pour out of their heart into mine. When they say “I love you,” I want them to mean it and back it up with sincere actions and gestures, not just excuses and silence. I’m looking…

PERSPECTIVE MATTERS...

“18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.” ~ Colossians 3:18-19

COMMITMENT. It’s deserving of capitalization because it will enable you to capitalize on the promises of God written throughout the Word of God. Commitment is central to the idea and concept of COVENANT. Without commitment, a covenant is no more valuable than the paper a covenant contract is written on. Covenant is not remotely possible apart from commitment.

Loyalty is a dying virtue in our contemporary times. Loyalty is in such short supply and high demand as a direct result of our waning commitment to... COMMITMENT.  Loyalty and commitment are like faith in that loyalty, commitment and faith are not real until they are tested, tried and found to be true. That is precisely why successfully tested loyalty and commitment are said to be found FAITHFUL. Faithfulness is loyalty and commitment put to the test and passes the test. It withstood whatever has been thrown at it. Commitment prevails at all costs evidencing its unfailing foundation: A love that never fails.

Love is not circumstantial nor conditional. Commitment that is exercised will evidence both mutual submission and love. A love founded on the principle of commitment borne on the strong back of covenant does not flee when trouble presents itself. No. It rebukes the trouble at its root, at its source, and continues to press forward through the storm. Commitment will fix what’s broke before it breaks the covenant and kills the relationship. Commitment will submit to the covenant and love its covenant partner irregardless of the circumstances or conditions that surround them.  

Outside of the wedding, the gown and the tux, the last thing marriage is, is glamorous. Marriage involves blue collar work and blue collar values like commitment. Commitment understands that every new construction will have to undergo improvements as it ages. It does not get sheepish at the thought of the work involved not only to maintain the relationship, but expects to roll up its sleeves and have tools at the ready to assist in making needed adjustments when necessary. When a lightbulb goes out, it will change the bulb not the house. Just as things will eventually go wrong in every house, things will threaten to go wrong in every home. Fix it, don’t deep-six it! Commitment is always constructive, never destructive. Perspective Matters...
