A Child left Waiting
A Mother left Worrying
A Family left Broken all because of Undelivered Promises
Undelivered Promises are the reason why many relationship breakdown happens,the reason why many people lose their hope in other people,the reason why people can't bring themselves to love again.
Over the years, we have been made promises that for some reason or another, has not taken place. We are at our wits end, we are waiting around for what he have been promised but yet we fail to recieve it. This makes us feel upset, it makes us feel empty. When we are promised something, we expect it to take place and we expect to see the end result.
I'm gonna share with you a story which can help us understand it a bit better
The Sender, Messenger and Recipient
The Sender has told the Recipient that they will recieve something in the post. In fact, they promised it would be there asap. The Recipient is all excited, telling everyone he knows that he is going to get something special in the post.
The Sender then gives the messenger a task, to deliver the goods to the recipient. When the Messenger turns up to collect it, the Sender fails to appear. Confused, The Messenger then heads to the recipient and tells him the news. Now, understand the pressure the Messenger is under. Having to break the news that he hasn't got the parcel.
Upon Arrival, the Recipient is on the doorstep, his face beaming with joy and delight. Within a matter of seconds, his face has crumbled, he is on his knees in tears. The Recipient then questions the Messenger why he has not got it. The Messenger is left defenseless, with nothing to say.
As the Messenger departs, he ponders on this and tries to think why this has taken place. The Sender knew he couldn't deliver so why promise it in the first place. Why say to the recipient that he will recieve something huge when he knows full well that is not going to happen.
So, as a result of that, The Recipient is now in a place where he can't trust other people again.
In the story, we see a promise has been made. That Promise now needs to be made manifest and be delivered. Only thing is, it doesn't and lives are changed. The Sender is hiding, knowing that people have heard the news, he knows no one will trust his word ever again.
People who make empty promises, are often not aware of the huge consequences it can have on someone's life. It may not happen immediately but when they get older we will see it start to take place.
You start to see them become distant, they have no trust in people, they have no sense of commitment or loyalty. We may think they could get over the disappointment but in reality, they have it lodged in the back of their mind.
When someone tries to get close to them or tries to tell them something, they don't give them the time of day. The Memories of what happened will still have an impact later on in life.
Ever heard someone say "I can't trust you, I refuse to believe anything you say" or they could say "No point promising anything, I know it's not going to happen". From Childhood to Adulthood, they are left with the mental scares of their previous experiences. However we dress the issue, it could take them a long time to ever trust someone again or even get close to someone.
This is due to Undelivered Promises
So, let's put ourselves in the position of both the Sender and the Recipient. Do we say things we can't deliver? Have you been promised something but it hasn't taken place? How did you feel? How did you get over it?
A Child left Waiting
A Mother left Worrying
A Marriage left ruined
A Business left failing
A Family left Broken all because of Undelivered Promises
Undelivered Promises can ruin a man's future. Don't let it ruin yours. If you know you can't deliver, don't make the promise.
