I have found my island.
Going to anchor at the coast nearby.
Waiting for the island to let me in.
From afar, I will admire the island and dream of my future.
I have learnt how to swim in the big blue sea.

God's people have made a decision about Jesus but have never made a commitment to Him.

There are so many Christians all over the world. All of them made a decision by saying, "Yes, I do believe in Christ and I want to accept Him." However, they did not proceed on to make a commitment to Christ which is about making a deliberate choice to follow Him, to deny ownself, take up our own cross and follow Him as well as completing the race and to keep the faith burning in the end. It is often hard to deny ourselves, our lives, our lifestyles. In another word, it's about leaving our comfort zone and doing something that we won't enjoy. Making a commitment is also about making decisions which will have a major change and impact on our lives such as forsaking something that we consider essential and important in our lives. Who, therefore, is willing to give up on so many things?

So what's the problem? Firstly, there is a misplaced love. Instead of being lovers of God, we become the lovers of themselves, money but not lovers of the good but lovers of pleasure. Do you know that God is displeased? In Revelation 2:4, it says "Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love." Secondly, it's the deformed faith of us. The earthly things that we do tends to hinder us from discovering our faith and caused our faith to be deformed. Thirdly, it's about rejecting the truth. Though we always listen to the truth but we never able to acknowledge it. We only listen to what pleases us but not everything regardless of anything. That's called rejecting the truth.

Someone said, "If you love a soul more than you love your own life and if you live to bring that soul to Christ, then I can promise you there will be pain, but I can also promise you that you will experience the highest joy." A life of total commitment to Jesus is definitely not a smooth one. You will suffer and you will have to be prepared to endure the pain. But I tell you, you are suffering for the sake of eternity. When the day arrives, you will inherit the priceless inheritance of God.
