GOOD MORNIGHT!:D
And because I couldn't sleep, I'll just blog this out:) So, this week, it's kinda just ok for me, I mean, I know great things are happening, but I know there's something MORE.. It's like I'm not contented, but I'm satisfied, like rating it just a satisfactory, but not as excellent as i wanted it to be. So many projects to pass, reporting to do, quizzes and stuffs... in short, a lot of things are playing in my head or brain, or wherever.. hahaha:)))) Still, right now, I'm thinking of so many things like our Church Anniversary (what to do, and the things to prepare), then school (Examinations are fast approaching), my 12 (their goals for the upcoming Anniversary and Encounter Week end), my 144 (how to help them to go to the next level) and lastly, I've been thinking about lovelife.. hahah! just kiddin':)))) NO!!!! hahahah:)))) Seriously, I've been thinking about my commitment. My commitment in the Ministry, The Worship Team, my Network, my commitment to my leaders and Most of all, my commitment to God.
When we say Commitment, what are the things we have in mind? For me, when I say I am committed, it means, I have a pledge. Meaning, it cannot be broken, it must not be broken. Or if I am committed it means that I have this obligation, and no compromise must be made.
I think (just an opinion), for us to be committed, we have to define what commitment is, because we might give no importance in committing anymore.
Just an example.. Marriage. Though I don't have any experience in marriage, I see marriage as an undying commitment, or stronger than commitment which is a covenant. But as we look at the society right now, there are so many broken families. Take note that covenant was made at the altar with all those guests... and yet, some tend to have legal separation, annulment, divorce, etc... after a short/ long period of time living together.
So, if covenant was broken, then what about commitment? It's so true that in little things that God has entrusted to us, we must do our best, so that He could also entrust to us greater things. A Covenant is greater than commitment, but can we just look at commitment the way we look at the covenant?
So... I've been thinking of these things lately:
1. Commitment in the Ministry
(Worship Team)
--- it's just that I don't want to stop if I'm tired. Well, we are all human beings, and human beings get tired too... Is being tired my limit? If I'm tired, good bye ministry?As what I said to the worship team, I'm gonna step out of the team if and only if the leaders said so, and when God told me so.
2. Commitment in People Ministry
--- I really pray to God and I made up my mind and my heart that I will be faithful in serving Him through winning souls and making disciples. Why? because, that's who I am! That is my PURPOSE!!!!!
--- though some are makulit, still, I'll faithfully love them. Si Lord nga namatay pa para sakanila eh, konting pasaway lang, give up kaagad?
3. Commitment to my Leaders
--- i really thank God for the life of my leaders.. My Biological and Spiritual Parents, my Cell Leader Ate Pepz... they really helped me a lot not just in my spiritual aspect of life, but so as my Physical aspect, hahaha:)))) my Emotional Aspect, and my Intellectual aspect in life. They helped me to be mature enough to handle big things... MASARAP TALAGA PAGKATIWALAAN.
--- I still want to develop my submission and obedience to them. Feeling ko, kulang pa!!
and lastly,
4. Commitment to God
--- NEXT LEVEL naman! Deeper commitment in my devotion, my time with Him, my prayer life, and deeper commitment in my relationship with Him...And I know, As i go to the higher level of my relationship with God, my life will really go to the higher level as well:D
How about you?
What's your next level?:)
thanks grace, this is wonderful. and also thanks again kase natukoy mo ang mga bagay na kailangan maremind sakin personally. Instead of pouring out of emotions (emo), your words reminds me to speak how God will do amazing things (instead). i feel the same, i know there's something more, something bigger. keep up! Godbless the works of your hands!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to your post. Each step we are challenged to level up our commitment as God enlarges everything in us-- our heart for Him, the people and even the blessings attached to it. Truly, Jesus is the vine and we are the branches, as we suck into Him through our commitment to do His will, as we get deeper in our relationship with Him.. we grow into a branch.. a mighty branch :)
ReplyDeleteI like it ate grace. hehe. ngayun ko lang nabasa.. Nakaka bless :)
