Even GOD melts before LOVE. Who am I to evade that rule?

During the war between the Pandavas and Kauravas, Lord Krishna promised not to fight from any side or carry any arms. Bhishma, Lord Krishna’s Devotee, challenged Him that he would make Him fight in the war. Lord Krishna broke His promise to His devotees. Duryodhana once incited Bhishma that he wasn’t fighting to his best because he loves the Pandavas, his grandchildren. Bhishma got disturbed by this charge and declared that he would kill all the Pandavas the next day. The next day, Bhishma fought ferociously, and Arjuna’s chariot got broken during the fight. At that point, Arjuna became wholly unarmed and helpless. Then, Lord Krishna took up the chariot wheel and went straight to Bhishma to save Arjuna. Seeing Lord Krishna approaching him, Bhishma wholeheartedly threw his weapons away. By running with the chariot wheel, Lord Krishna broke His promise not to carry any weapons, and thus He saved 2 of his great devotees (Arjuna & Bhishma) from perishing and winning Him with their Devotion. So GOD might break His promise; however, he would never break his devotee’s promise. Thus anyone who has resorted to Lord Krishna can never be destroyed & Lord can defend him perpetually.
