On this New Year’s Eve, a lot of promises are being made. Many of these resolutions are worthy goals for the year ahead. The only problem is that for most of us the promises of today will soon be forgotten. We have good intentions, but we lack the sense of commitment that will enable us to form new habits.
Our generation is characterized by short-term commitments. We often begin our enterprises with a definite idea of how we can excuse ourselves from them if things get too difficult. Even some newlyweds begin their marriages with the understanding there is a legal backdoor that will allow them to escape when the relationship gets rocky.
Good relationships are based on love and made stronger by trials. Each party gives and receives support in relation to the other. Vows mean more and last longer because a desire to escape is not an option to one who loves unconditionally.
Father, help me keep my commitments to You and to others.
