Oh boy! Being honest has always
been my strong point and biggest flaw. No matter what I have always been a
truth teller. When I was young, like most kids, I would lie to cover up
something bad that I had done, but I ALWAYS ended up telling on myself. I just
couldn’t lie. I am the world’s worst liar. So it should be no surprise that
Christina was my favorite character in the Divergent book series by Veronica
Roth!
Complete Candor, for most, is no
walk in the park. One tiny lie leads to another and then to another. It’s always
been said that a “little white lie” isn't bad or that lying so that you spare
someone’s feelings from being hurt is okay. But a lie is a lie. And it’s not
okay. God expects complete honesty from
us as His Children. He expects us to live honest lives. It can be tough when
the world has an image of what is acceptable and what isn't. Faking who you are
and hiding your faith shouldn’t be something that you ever feel you have to do!
Honesty is the best policy!
Here are some verses that
encourage Candor!
Proverbs 12:22
Lying lips are abomination to
the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
Exodus 20:16
Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbor.
2 Corinthians 8:21
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight
of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.Thanks for reading,
Sarah
