"You will never knowingly suffer at my hands. I will never say anything or do anything knowingly to hurt you. I will always, in every circumstance, seek to help and support you. If you're down and I can lift you up - I'll do that. If you need something and I have it, I'll share it with you. If I need to, I'll give it to you. No matter what I find out about you, no matter what happens in the future - either good or bad - my commitment to you will never change. And there is nothing you can do about it."
This is a commitment made by the members of a church in Washington State to one another. Their church grew to 4,000 people in just 14 years. That is the power that God can show through our love for one another. I can't say that this would describe me currently, but it is my hearts desire to be able to fulfill this commitment. I just thought I would share it with anyone who wishes to read it.

I'd love to get my church to the point where they would say this to each other. Seems like along, uphill road, but when is it not?
