All in

 Today I listened to a sermon about being “all in”spiritually. The pastor talked about being “all in”requiring complete trust in God. I veered into thinking, when have I been all in? In anything? 

  I could say I’ve been all in, in the promises of marriage, the work of parenting, my education, my work life. I’ve been less committed, not given 100 percent over the course of my life. Do we assume all in means not all the time? Because perfection is impossible?

  Pure love is my best example of being all in. I don’t take a break from loving my children, my husband, my family. But love is mixed with other emotions; liking, admiring, disliking, anger, frustration,  pride, grief. is that not really..all in either?
