Reverential Respect

I noticed in life......

The more experience you have with certain things and people, the more you tend to respect them. I read the Bible, and see countless miracles of God, and his creation the earth, and I can't help but to respect Him for who he is. And then nature: earthquakes, tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes, floods......I respect nature, as well as God, the creator of natural things.
And then there's COMMITMENT. ah. Now this is an entity to be respected. IT is lack of commitment in some marriages that have driven spouses to kill. Or lack of commitment that caused hearts to be ripped in pieces.

Commitment means to choose to stick with someone or something regardless of the circumstances....whether its pretty or ugly, smells good or bad, happy or sad, healthy or sick, rich or poor, nice or mean, joyful or angry....no matter what. It means when you wake up next to your wife and her breath smells, or your husband has really bad diarrhea, or you firstborn has puked all over your brand new suit....it means to still treat them like the loving family member they are.

It means when your husband loses his job to not leave him for a rich man....or if your girlfriend has ugly legs, to not break up with her....or if you and your spouse have argued everyday for an entire year, to not give up on your marriage..... no matter what.

IT's when your life seems to be having some sticky, rocky times, or the world seems more and more evil, and the times seem more and more scary, to trust God, at His word, no matter what.

It means more than I can describe in this online entry.....ANd for one to say that they will commit themselves to another human being forever, until the end of life, no matter what.....no matter what.....it's big. It's deep.
