TD Jakes - Commitment

Your first commitment is to God. Your second commitment is to family. Your second commitment is to family, and it's a very important commitment. It's a very important commitment. You better be committed, or you ain't gonna make it. If you can only love me when you like me, we ain't gonna make it. 'Cause sooner or later, I'm gonna pluck your last nerve and then say, "How you like me now"? It's to your family, crazy as they are.

If you're not committed, you're not gonna make it. Even the ones with the personalities you don't like. You have to be committed through the storm and the rain and the heartache and the pain and the disappointment. You have to believe in the we and the us and not the me and the you or you're not gonna make it. It's a commitment. It's not a feeling. You gotta come home when you in love and you gotta come home when you not in love or you not gonna make it. And stay there till the love comes back. It's a commitment.
