Trusting the God Who Finishes What He Starts

Have you ever promised in advance to do something for someone, but when the time came to follow through, you forgot? I find it very upsetting when I realize that I have not followed through on a promise to someone. It is easy to have good intentions on doing something but then mess up keeping…

Giving Grace to the Very End
