Sure I am committed.....maybe?

So why is it so hard to commit to something? Is it a fear of losing out on something better? I think that it mostly comes down to not wanting to admit you are responsible for something. Once you commit to it, you now are responsible. I think people nowadays don't want to take responsiblity. They feel that what ever happens is not their fault. God told us to commit totally to him, and it pleases him when we do. Look in 2 Chronicles 15:14-15. Asa and his people clearly committed themselves to God, even using trumpet blasts to proclaim their commitment. This resulted in peace for the nation.

So why did this need an entry? I have been working on our youth for a year now on trying to get them to take some responsiblity. I know that I have not helped out by not letting them do certain things, but ultimately they need to take ownership of their group and become responsible and commit (wholeheartedly) to it. Over the last two weeks I have seen the fruits of that work start to show up. It has been awesome to watch a few take some initiative. It is slow in coming, but I can't change their hearts, only God can do that. It will take time for all of them to be there, but I am committed to them!
