“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” (Romans 12:10 NIV)
Commitment is one of life's high-risk adventures. For when we commit ourselves to people, we look into a future that is not going to be quite like the present, and we promise that we will be there, truly present, consistently and caringly, with people who may not be able to give us all we had expected from them. And the way we will make our commitment work is not by contract, not by force, but by the risky personal gift of trust.
-- Lewis Smedes in “Caring & Commitment”
