Live up to your word

            .

Introduction

Many of us say things but we do not do what we say we will do. For example, how many of you tells someone you will pray for them but do you really pray for them. How many times have we told someone we will call them, but we never did?  Likewise, how many times do we tell someone to call you so you can help them or guide them but as soon as that person calls, you do not answer your phone, or you simply avoid them.

I know many of us are very busy and as a result, we may end up forgetting to do some of the things we say we would do. However, there are some of us who remember what we promised to do but we do not live up to our word.

I believe if we commit to our promises, many of us will be in a better position.

Let us pray if we say we will pray

Often when something happens to someone, our first response is that we will pray for you. I know that prayer changes things so if all of say that say we will pray for that person or that particular situation, I believe things can change. Perhaps things remain the same because we are not praying for others as we say we would do.

Let us call or return that call

Calling someone is simple to do. Don t tell someone you will call them, and you never call them or everything they trying to reach you, you declined their call. Honestly, you should not make a promise to someone that you will call them if you have no intention of calling them. The best thing to do is to be honest with people. Tell them you don’t want to talk to them and if you want to talk to them, then talk to them or return their call. That call to that one person may just make a difference in the life of that person.

Help if you told them, you would help

I try my best to live up to my promise especially when it comes to helping others. There are people in this world that need help. It does not necessarily mean financial help. Some people need mentorship. Some people need guidance and direction. If you made that promise to help someone, live up to it.

Don’t say one thing and do something else

I know sometimes we say things and do something else. Of course, you have a right to change your mind especially if you have additional information about the situation. However, if you do not, then stick to what you say you would do.

Conclusion

When you do what you say you would do, you are creating trust and trust me a lot of us do not trust one another. You are also building your good character and integrity as an individual. When you live up to your world, I believe you can change the world in a positive way.  Finally, it is best not to say anything if you know you will not be able to commit to it.
