Your Word

Have you ever wished that people would say what they mean and mean what they say? Yeah me too! Let's preface this with a scripture from Matthew 5:33-37 where the scripture is talking about these very things. Here the scriptures are telling us that "polishing" our words with religious ideas don't make them any more true. If you don't intend to follow through then the end result will be the same regardless. For me, I grew up watching people never following through with their promises. Due to that, I have made it a point to say what I mean and do what I say. I've come up short many times but I always try to make it up and give an apology. I know some people whose intentions are great but they are either late or never do what they say. I never hear from them about their promise they made. It's like, "let's ignore it and it will go away" or they will make an excuse. You can make an excuse to cover about anything! As Christians, we of all people should be making sure that our words are believable. If we can't follow through, then with today's technology, it shouldn't be a problem of letting someone know that we can't do as you promised. Remember, the world is watching!
