What does total commitment mean to you?
Whenever you truly commit to something or someone, you have to give up something in the process. In one sense you can see it as a sacrifice.
This is where you forfeit something of great value for the sake of something of greater value.
In our culture, the commitment we are most aware of is marriage. When a man proposes to a woman, he does so knowing he’s giving up all other relationships with single women. He’s giving up a great deal of autonomy and he’s giving up all of his assets. When you listen to the marriage vows, you recognize that you are giving all that you have and all that you are to that other person. You are telling them that I belong exclusively and permanently to you. All of me.
But isn’t this what we yearn for? And we do it to experience union and oneness with another person, and, in the process, experience incredible joy.
Jesus is telling us the same thing. That a new right relationship with Him is worth everything.
However, He has made it clear that we must give ourselves to Him, to surrender to Him, and when we do, we will suddenly find everything that we have been searching for in this life.
