Just as beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, truth and trust are in the hearts of the those who promise and those hoping to receive. Try as we may, promises are broken, while some are not intentional or in a defiant, malice manner, it happens. The truth, in my opinion is we should not make promises because rarely are they kept. Love and promises are the things we hope, dream and aspire to be, to have and to do; however, few actually ever attain and fewer yet hold onto their love and promises made. Sometimes in the face of defeat and broken promises discouragement moves in and life begins to feels less joyful and very small. I am reminded that true joy comes from within and lasting joy comes from Jesus. The only promises never broken, came from God. When we have Jesus in our hearts are soul is fed by the Holy Spirit and our steps are watched by our Father, God. The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 5:5 “it’s better that you don’t promise than that you do promise and not follow through.” Friends, I encourage you as well as myself to trust in God’s promises and seek His will for our lives, asking for His guidance in all that we do and say. Practice giving mercy and grace as they are both poured out in abundance to each of us by God on a daily basis. I hope you find comfort in God’s promises listed below.
