Love and Devotion: True Nature of Commitment
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.
