My Commitment (Adapted from Rick Warren's commitment)

I will:

            Magnify God

            Grow to maturity

            Serve in ministry

            Fulfill my mission as part of His family

            Do the best I can with what I have for Jesus…..TODAY

Keep running with my eyes on the goal, not the sidelines or those running by me

I will value:

            Worship over wealth

            “We” over “me”

            Character over comfort

            Service over status

            People over possessions, position and pleasure

I refuse to waste time or energy on:

            Shallow living

            Petty thinking

            Trivial talking

            Thoughtless doing

            Useless regretting

            Hurtful resenting

            Faithless worrying

I won’t be:

            Captivated by culture

            Manipulated by critics

            Motivated by praise

            Frustrated by problems

            Debilitated by temptation

            Intimidated by the devil

When times get rough and I get tired, I won’t:

            Be bought

            Be compromised

            Quit until I finish the race

I’m a trophy of God’s amazing grace, so I will be:

            Gracious to everyone

            Grateful for every day

            Generous with everything that God entrusts to me

Today – as God is here beside me – in advance I say YES – I submit to you.  I’m ready:

            However

            Whenever

            Wherever you lead

            Whatever the cost
