We have chosen to commit ourselves as youth and adults to doing
something for others, rather than playing the self centered introspective game.
The reality is our commitment to serve
others is fueled, developed and nurtured according to our resolve to follow
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The
closer we are in our relationship to Christ the more aware we become of who we
are and what we are and what our lives are all about.
This is important.
Even in marriage, romantic love is an expression of our
commitment to one another, as it is in family and friend relationships. A common commitment to Christ holds us
together. Love is a decision. The Scriptures tell us to “Love your
husbands/wives; Love thy neighbor; Honor your father and mother – declarative
sentences. It works. You make a commitment and you build a
relationship.
Listen to each other -
If you want to develop any kind of relationship/friendship listen intently to each other. Why do we pay psychologists—so
that someone will listen to us. Listen
to each other. Listen to what they mean. This is an active action of love and
commitment.
