Speak what is true

While no one likes to admit it, we have all lied from time to time. I am not proud of lying. As a matter of fact, I am ashamed for lying. The funny thing is, I have lied about some of the most minor, minute things - things that would never have mattered but I lied about anyway. It is a shame...

As I have gotten older, I have become much better at speaking the truth. That's not to say that I don't still occasionally lie. I think we all know when a little untruth is the right thing to do. If someone asks if you like their new hairstyle, the truth may be that you don't, but, to save the friendship, you'll say, "I really like it." In instances such as that, I have gotten better at saying, "I like it if you do," and I leave it at that.

Today's word is from Proverbs 8:7, NIV, which reads, "My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness."

When it comes to sharing the love of CHRIST with others, I speak the truth. The truth is that GOD loves you. He doesn't want you to spend eternity separated from Him. He has made a Way through JESUS CHRIST for us to have an everlasting relationship with the ONE TRUE GOD. That is the TRUTH.

All the other things, "working your way to Heaven", following a strict code to merit Heaven, "killing the infidel" are all lies that GOD detests and will not proceed from my lips. The world needs to hear the TRUTH. So many folks are trying to spread lies that some people will believe; let's tell them the TRUTH!

Be Blessed,
