Purpose Vs. Promise: What Are You Committed To?

It all started in the year of 2017 during the holidays while hanging out with my family.

It was just a few days before Christmas. After leaving my mom's house, I began to think of everything that has been taking place in my life, and it seems that all I have been acquainted with was ups and downs.

Another year will soon pass and still nothing. After leaving my mom's house around 4:00 p.m., I believe I got in my car and just began to think.

It seemed as if everything possible just hit me all at once: "e;Life."e; I'm still single, almost forty years old.

Never been married and no kids. Oh, how I desired babies. I just felt completely alone, so I just drove. I've cried my eyes out. Oh, I was a mess. I have never ever been through anything quite like this in my entire life.

You know why? I was so caught up in my promise. You know, the things that God promised me. I lost sight of my purpose. So when God began to talk to me on Monday 1, 2018, He said, "e;Nicole, what are you committed to your relationship with Me or the things that I have already confirmed that is yours?"e; He said, "e;Your relationship with Me is more important than your promise."e; God made these promises to you before you even had a desire for them.

Are you committed to your purpose or the promise? "e;The Lord is not slack concerning His promises"e; (2 Peter 3:9, KJV).
