Choosing Commitment - Part 1

How well do you take care of yourself? While some problems we encounter in life are not of our choosing, most come about as the result of our own decisions. How we take care of ourselves, physically, mentally and spiritually, determines success or failure. Deciding to exercise helps maintain a healthy body and mind. Sometimes we start off with good intentions, but those good intentions may slip away.  

Connected to any decision is commitment. To commitment there must be a doable plan in place for reaching a specific goal. St. Paul said, “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me.” To press onward is a choice bound up in commitment.

God intended for us to take care of ourselves because our body, mind and spirit comprise a temple for the Holy Spirit. How well you care for yourself depends on your motivation. God loves you and sacrificed for you to give you life abundantly! It’s not about feeling guilty, but rather feeling worthy because God has chosen you.
