ALWAYS DECLARE YOUR COMMITMENT
Phil 2:1-4; Col 3:12-17 ; Jude 20,21; Col 2:1-7; Rom 9:1-5;
Rom 1:8-15
Every situation (good or bad) is an opportunity to express what the Lord
has put in our hearts. Relationships are about promises. Word given
and word kept. There is no commitment that is not first spoken and
meant. In sports terms, declaring your commitment gets you out of the
stands and into the game. It makes you a participant not an onlooker.
The strength of Paul's declared commitment was full of passion.
In every circumstance we must declare our positive intention. In times
of tension and difficulty, silence can be wounding. Never assume
that people know how much you are for them. Always declare it with
thoughtfulness and love.
• Be intentional to one another.
• Fight FOR people.
• Live out who you really are with people.
• Being devoted to people means being committed through good
times and bad.
• Take time to upgrade your current relationships. No status-quo.
Get better.
• Express affection and compassion.
• Maintain the same love even when people are inconsistent.
• Declaring your commitment makes a difference to you as well as
others.
How we team: Meditate on the people around you, who mean the
most to you. Think about them and what they are facing and declare
a commitment to that friendship. A word, a card, a gesture, a gift, a
phone call, text, coffee, time...will make a lot of difference to someone
and you will feel better about yourself.
Value: Declaring your commitment to others is the best way of
understanding and receiving God's commitment to you. The scriptures
are God's declaration of commitment to humanity. His whole heart
is in His word to us. When you declare your commitment, your heart
