Promise

Promise, a simple but very complex word to ponder.
What comes to mind when you hear  the word promise?
Do you think of an assurance to do; or not to do something, or;
Do you immediately consider a person that possesses this trait?

Promise is...
Intangible. You can't see it, but like the air we breath, we know it is real and vital to sustain life.
Promise is.. Faith. Hope. Love.
Promise is.. what you choose to believe.
Promise is... An expected end.
Promise is... That special gift we see in our family, children, friends; She/he has so much promise..

A Promise made...
At minimum, a two-way proposal or transaction between the promise maker & the promise receiver. Positive or negative;  good or bad; a promise made has consequences.

A Promise broken...
A promise, not kept, brings dissapointment (or relief), and may be seen by the receiver as a character flaw.

A Promise honored...
A promise when kept, may build trust, or the knowledge that the promise maker is true to their word.

The personhood of promise..
Now, let's consider Promise, the person. The person; one who deserves kindness, love, respect, & unwavering loyalty. The person we consider above all others...

Ultimately, the Promise, is the Trinity... God in three persons...

God is Promise. Promise is God. The One we can rely on to fulfill His Word.

Consider Promise, & all His many Benefits. He'll never leave, or forsake us.

Consider His Promises: Made & Kept. Yes & Amen.

Consider God; The Ultimate Promise Keeper. When all else fails; He never will.

Promise.
