Promises

"Don't make a promise you can't keep." Have you heard that one before? If you have, do you know what it means? A promise is a promise. You don't make one without expecting the consequences. You should never break your own promises if you can help it. You can come up with excuses like, "I had 'crosses'!" That's a popular one. Or have you heard, "Well, you didn't tell me!" You only use these when you know that you have broken your promise. It's just the same way that when some people sin, they say, "Well, the devil made me do it". That's not true. You did it of your own free will. No one made you do it. It was your own fault. It's the same way with broken promises. No one made you break it, but you did anyway. Your honor has been damaged. It is a very sad thing when someone's life is littered with broken promises. Yet, it happens.
