The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient
with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
Bound by a promise. You can tell a lot about a person by how a person treats his or her
promises.
(2 Peter 3.9
NRSV)
A Protestant young man was marrying a Catholic girl. They met
with her priest to sign some pre-wedding ceremony papers. While
filling out the form, the young man read aloud a few questions.
When he got to the last one, which read: "Are you entering this
marriage at your own will?" he looked over at his fiancee. "Put
down 'Yes,'" she said.
Dear God, I will keep my promises, because you have kept yours. Amen.
