Promises

"When you make a promise, 

say only "Yes" or "No." 

Anything else comes from the devil."   

~Matthew 5:37 

Promises are like babies:  

easy to make, hard to deliver.  

~Author Unknown

 

Promises may fit the friends,

but non-performance will 

turn them into enemies. 

~Benjamin Franklin

Lord, teach Alyssa and Kyle the importance of their word and to be careful to always keep their promises.  May it be their commitment to not break their covenant; and not take back a single word they say.  Especially when they make a vow to you, Lord, I pray that they don't delay in fulfilling it, for you take no pleasure in fools.  I pray that honesty and integrity always mark Alyssa and Kyle's lives.  I know you live in them, and through their actions and their words, and following through with their promises, others will see you!  Thank you, dear Jesus, for hearing my prayer.
