As a Christians, how committed are we to Jesus Christ? Where are we in your relationship with Him? What was going through our minds when we surrendered our lives to our Savior?
I am sure that at that moment we felt that we would always be 100% committed to the Lord. And then things happened. Over a period of time, we became distracted with the affairs of the world. We became so preoccupied with certain pursuits in our lives, that the Lord became less of a priority. What we promised to be, and to do, just went by the wayside.
Good intentions? Yes, but not a feeling of fulfillment. Because in this process of time, we never felt that feeling of total satisfaction and contentment. We felt that void in our hearts, that only the Savior could fill.
The Apostle Paul was totally sold out to the Lord Jesus Christ. He went all the way for the Lord, and never hesitated, or became pre-occupied with other things. He kept the faith, and he fought the good fight to the very end. (2 Timothy 4:7) It was a lifetime of saying "Yes" to whatever the Lord wanted with him, and his life.
As Christians, shouldn't we say "Yes" to Jesus, everyday of our lives?
"What He says we will do; Where He sends, we will go, Never fear, only trust and obey." GP
