“Say what you mean, and mean what you say.” “An ounce of behavior is worth a pound of words.” “Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.” These phrases and others like them indicate that God has wired humanity to practice infidelity and honesty. If a person says they’ll do something, we expect them to follow through. Everyone wants honesty—we all do. If we’re honest though, none of us keep this standard perfectly, resulting in a world full of broken promises. This rampant infidelity brings pain to both those making promises and those expecting them to be fulfilled.
