Proverbs 20:6-7
Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love,
but a faithful man who can find?
The righteous who walks in his integrity—
blessed are his children after him!
More men have professed their love at the end of an aisle than have stayed faithful to the end of their lives. Love is not in the strength of the profession, but in the durability of the procession. No one can promise to feel loving feelings forever and promises made upon emotion are destined to dissolve. Those who keep their covenants because they said they would bless their offspring with a living picture of the love of God for His elect.
