Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;

anything more than this comes from evil.

--Lord Jesus Christ Matthew 5:37 ESV

Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;

anything more than this comes from evil.

--Lord Jesus Christ Matthew 5:37 ESV

When was the last time you made a promise to someone?•“Babayaran kita next week."•“Iiwanan ko na ang pagbibisyo!"•"I'll be there. Promise.“•“’Di ko sasabihin sa iba. Sikreto natin ‘to. Talaga, promise!”

Eto pa…

Keeping your word is sometimes difficult, expensive, and inconvenient. But the cost of not doing so is even more expensive! It will ultimately cost you…

When you don’t keep your word,

you lose value and credibility.

When we don't keep a promise to someone, It communicates to that person that

we don't value him or her. We are telling ourselves that we don't

value our own word. 

We have chosen to put something else ahead of our commitment. Even when we break small promises, others learn that they cannot count on us.

When you don’t keep your word,

you lose relationships.

When you don’t keep your word,

you lose peoples’ trust.

When you don’t keep your word,

you lose integrity.

Quotable quote

“Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.”

Keeping your word takes guts. Keeping your word takes work. Keeping your word pays off in the end.

Psalm 15:5 (MSG)

“Keep your word even when it costs you.”

King Solomon

It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it

(Ecclesiastes 5:5).

A man, without his word, is nothing. 

Thank you!

Blessed day!
