When commitments are broken, purpose is scattered,
And that which God planned gets wasted or shattered.
Pledges and promises carry much weight,
And when they're not honored confusion is great.
Families are broken and people get hurt.
Keeping one's word this pain might avert.
Wisdom and counsel oft heal one's perspective
And offer up help to find new directive.
Commitment and promise and keeping one's word
Should always be clear and not beccome "blurred".
Whenever we pledge to do a good thing,
Following through much blessing will bring.
"The righteous man walks in his integrity..."
Proverbs 20:7 Amplified Bible
