Last Longer Than A Lettuce

Commitment in the modern world can sometimes seem as fragile as the lifespan of a lettuce. Full of freshness at first, then wilting with neglect. The Christian life calls for a deeper, longer-lasting devotion. Paul encourages us in 1 Corinthians 15:58, “Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain” (NIV). God's kingdom thrives on committed and steadfast hearts.

It is easy to begin well: the excitement of a new ministry, the thrill of a promise. But the challenge is staying the course when the shine wears off. A mature faith does not wilt under pressure. It perseveres, grows, and bears fruit. God is looking for followers who are not just sprinters, but marathoners in grace.

So next time you see that sad, forgotten lettuce in the fridge, ask yourself: has my commitment outlasted this?
