True commitment is not defined by our actions but by the motivations driving them. At its core, commitment reveals who we are truly devoted to—ourselves or others, including God. Love is not about what we do; it’s about why we do it. Genuine love requires selflessness, often demanding sacrifices that prioritize what is truly best for someone else, even when it challenges our desires.
Jesus’ teachings remind us that self-serving actions, even those done in His name, fail to reflect true commitment. Love confronts selfishness, not for our benefit, but for the good of others. Real love and commitment go beyond unconditional support for someone’s wants; they are grounded in selflessness, a dedication to truth, and a willingness to act in others’ best interests. When we grasp this, it transforms how we understand love, making commitment not about seeking love, but about embodying it.

Growing up, I’ve always been a bubbly, outgoing girl who loves having fun and trying new things. But something happened recently that made me take a hard look at my life and the decisions I’ve been making. My teacher pulled me aside one day and pointed out that I had a habit of starting things and never finishing them. I’d get super excited about a new project or hobby, but then I’d lose interest and move on to something else. She told me this lack of commitment was holding me back.
At first, I didn’t want to hear it. But then I realized something: I was doing exactly what I saw my parents doing. My parents are great, but they often struggle with commitment. They’d start diets and quit, or make big plans and never follow through. It was like a light bulb went off in my head. I was picking up the same habits that I didn’t like seeing in them!
That realization was a game-changer for me. I knew I had to change these habits immediately if I didn’t want to bring them into my future. I want to be someone my kids can look up to one day, and I don’t want them to struggle with commitment like I did.
Even if we don’t have the best examples at home, it’s crucial for us kids to understand the importance of commitment. We need to learn to stay dedicated to our goals and responsibilities. This will help us build trust and achieve our dreams. Commitment is the key to becoming reliable and successful in whatever we choose to do.
