“Open up before God, keep nothing back; he’ll do whatever needs to be done.” (Psalm 37:5 MSG)
Committed relationships involve love, trust, faithfulness, acceptance, and openness. When you commit to someone, you close yourself off to other options. This is why commitment feels risky. We wonder if we are making the right choice. What if there are better options out there?
When we commit to God, when we go all in--holding nothing back--it feels scary. We are letting go of ourselves, our personal convictions, our visions, our individualism, and our independence. We are relinquishing our illusions of self-sufficiency and our reliance on worldly options.
Can we commit to God exclusively? Can we trust Him to do whatever needs to be done?
