Did your brother ever promise? With his fingers crossed behind his back, and so you learned the hard way not to trust in his promises? Ever have the promise of someone you loved broken or forgotten? Is it that the word was forsaken or that the hope you had for something better was destroyed? You believed something and it didn't happen. By the time we reach adult hood it's hard sometimes to be able to trust anyone anymore. We should bemore surprised that anyone actually keeps their word. That's why I look with amusement and some amazement at people who believe the promises of the politicians in this political season. It can't be that anyone, Democrat or Republican will tell the truth and keep his/her word. The promise is always broken. That seems to be the given. You probably wonder where this cynical piece is coming from. One too many political ad, news report, I guess. But I was thinking about the promise that we have, the one hope that is sure and true. Though I've struggled often with the reality of it, I still choose to believe it. What promise is that? The sure and certain hope of Jesus. Savior. Redeemer. Returning again.
