How many times have we promised something to someone? How many times have we done so, with the knowledge we will not fulfill the promise? This is a common trait in life and one thing that is usually forgiven if we do not keep the promise; or is it forgiven? It depends on the promise and the person we made the promise to, I would guess……
I think of the times I promised my God that I would do this or that if He would do something in particular, but did I do what I promised Him eventually?; don’t know or will not say…
Promises 2016-32
A politician saying what he will,
Again, again and once more again,
A bride and groom at the alter,
Making a forever wish
The soldier going off to a war,
With words of the expectation of return
A rainbow in the mist and sun,
Saying no more floods.
A promise made with deceit, love
hope and faith.

“”I really needed to hear this today, from my heart to “promises”, we certainly try, and it is okay, if we tried. The LORD, and our Father, know that “WE” try….and it is the best.

If, when we promise, we can ONLY try to fullfill the promise

I can remember more promises I have broken than I can those I have fulfilled, along with the regrets. Some things should never, ever be promised, but only said I will try. And so, for today, I will try to do my best.
