To make a promise is certainly not something casual or to be taken lightly.
To make a promise would require commitment as well as a conviction.
Because words have to be put into action, and our integrity is also put on the line.
When we break a promise, we lose the trust that others have in us.
When St. Paul preached about the promises of God, he affirmed that God will not go back on His promises.
However many promises God made, the Yes to them is all in Him.
Because God is faithful and He will not go back on His word.
God promised to save us and certainly He will.
God even sent His only Son to fulfill that promise of salvation.
In our baptism, we promised to be faithful to God.
Like salt, we are to preserve the gift of faith.
Like light, we are to keep shining with good works for all to see.
Let us keep our promise to be faithful to God, and He will reward us with abundant blessings.
