Daughters of Promise Summer Issue 38: Commitment

Being committed to something also carries the idea of limitation, or restriction. “Commitment” is a close kin to faithfulness and steadfastness. Our commitments can be a source of deep regret and difficulty. They also carry the potential for great joy and purpose. Wisdom is needed in choosing wise commitments, and flourishing in those we didn’t choose, but which were chosen for us. This issue is not a summons to strive more or try harder. Instead, it invites us to view our commitments in the light of Christ’s commitment to us. In the reality of His perfect steadfastness to His beloved, we find the grace to press on with fresh resolve in old commitments, and wisdom in engaging new ones.
