Jesus assures us that all promises have their roots in love – love of him and love of the Father. Without that love we often end up breaking many of the promises we make with good intent. We break those promises because we don’t have the strength to keep them without the love God gives us. But with that love we can be at peace, we can learn, we can remember, we can be strong, we can be faithful, we can keep the promises we make, we can have God dwell with us, we can love… God, others, and ourselves. Seems like a really good return on an investment in love, doesn’t it?
