Emphasis Preaching Journal

Johnny, a first-grader, always waited on the front steps of the school after classes. The routine was that his father would be waiting in the car at the curb when the school day was over. This system worked perfectly, until the day Dad completely forgot to come. An hour later, in a panic, he drove to the school, fearing the worst. There was Johnny, waiting patiently on the step. His father asked, incredulously, "Didn't you worry I might not come?" Said the child, transparently, "No. I knew you would. Because you promised. And because you always come." Great was his faith.
