I found this little fact today in a Bible Study email I received. It lends me to ask the question...what kind of commitment do I exhibit in my relationships?
Cortes, the great Spanish explorer discovered what we know today as Mexico . He sailed in several boats with many men committed to conquering and settling an unknown land. When they arrived, the men looked around at an undiscovered world and were afraid. Cortes, sensing their fear, gathered them all on shore and set fire to their ships. He then announced, "Now there can be no turning back!" That is commitment; a choice never to turn back; a contract without escape clauses; a battle plan with no option for retreat. Love that never gives up can hold on because of commitment. It looks past the circumstance and locks its gaze on the promise.
