Definitions:
Promise = a declaration that one will do or refrain from doing something specified (Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary)
Stand = remain valid or unaltered (AskOxford Dictionary)
Let me begin with the word 'promise'. It is noted that the word maybe began in usage in the very beginning of time, dated back to Abraham's time when God made promises to Abraham. Promise is a declaration that something will be done. Sadly, nowadays, promises are often made as empty promises. Promises are so easy to make but very hard to keep. If you can't keep a promise, please don't make one. I fall short in keeping promises and I have been trying my best not to make promises I cannot keep. I hope other people will do so too before you hurt someone.
I love the definition of 'stand' in AskOxford Dictionary. Perhaps, some dictionary may expound on the word better but as for my blog writings today, the definition suffice. I think many people is misusing this word but never really meant the stands they made. I have to confess that I did and do that too. After all, no one is perfect. Seriously, I deeply regretted it. I remembered a friend of mine clearly said about her stand in choosing a partner in life. For many times, she told me her stands. I was amazed at her at the stands she made. But, it wasn't the case. What has and is happening is totally the reverse side of the stand that she made.
Life is not and never will be perfect and is man/woman; you, he, she, me, everyone under the sun. I am waiting for the day the LORD will restore all things and all people. But, on that day too, I have to give an account of all the terrible things I have done.
