Again another day comes to a close. Or that is how we sometimes look at it.
Tomorrow brings a new adventure. I will be with you then as together we
journey in our faith life.
Do you realize the importance of being honest? Now that question comes out of the blue yet
it is important that we address honesty.
How do I want you to look at it? How often does it come up in your life? When do you realize that you are not being as
honest as you could be? When do we slip
in the extra that may not be as accurate as the original?
Do we check ourselves when we feel we are going astray with
a story? Do we tend to add things?
What I want you to do is to beg Me to show you where you are
lying. Now, no one wants to be called a liar. So I will not call you a liar, yet if you beg
Me to show you when/if you are lying, I will do it most willingly.
Do not try to analyze it by yourself.
Ask Me to help you.
Again it is another step in trusting Me to reveal to you how our union
can and should grow ---- if that is what you want.
No need to seek comfort from elsewhere, just from Me. I will comfort your soul that does not like
to see itself as not truthful. Right?
Gee we have journeyed this far and talked about all sorts of
things and so now we will venture into seeking to be very truthful in our
thoughts and words.
Now, truth and honesty go together, yet you do not have to
say something mean to, or about, someone and follow it by saying --- “well,
it’s the truth.”
The facts may be true but your motive certainly is not. If you base it on love and you know the Truth
is hurtful, then you will not say it and act quickly to even remove it from
your mind.
When have we asked God to speak the Truth to someone’s
heart?
Sometimes we want to be the bearer of the un-loving
truth. But we must avoid this because it
does not follow through with our command from God to love one another.
You may think that if you love the person you will tell them
the Truth. Yet look around you. Does this so-called truth build up or tear
down a person?
Come to Me first and ask Me if it is My Will to give you the
opportunity to speak the Truth to a person.
Remember it can’t be about your pride or your revenge. It has to be about My Love.
Ask yourself why do you think the person needs to hear the
truth? And is it the truth according to
you or according to Me?
So many of us rush to tell the truth without first
consulting with Me.
I hold the key to the Words of Truth. If they are to be said, let Me tell you what to
say and when.
I know some people will ask you to be truthful after they have asked you a
question like “Do you like my haircut?” ,
“Do you think I should have an abortion?” You see some questions are more profound and
drastically life-changing compared to others.
Yet each calls for gentle truth. “I like your hair when it is fuller. It compliments your face.”
And yet the second question calls for an all-out assault of
Love.
Not an easy response like “I don’t believe in it, but it
really is up to you.” Now that is true –
that the person has a choice in this circumstance, yet they need more
Truth-filled Love. Go out on a limb and
tell them “No, absolutely not.”
They may ask why that response? Gently add “you are special, your baby is special and the Lord has given
you the privilege to carry this precious creation of His.”
As women and men we take responsibility for creating life,
yet we can’t.
It is impossible.
Science tells us how the egg when fertilized by the sperm will develop
instantly into a human being.
But we have not created the egg.
We have not created the sperm.
We have not created the unbelievable union that takes place
and creates another one-of-a-kind human being.
That is how precious each person is in God’s sight. Each of us is one-of-a-kind. We can’t fathom the Greatness of God!
Yet we sometimes are afraid to proclaim His Greatness by
standing for the Truth of each new created human being.
Do we lie to ourselves and God when we make excuses for
taking the life of a human being?
Here we are, back to talking about lying.
How truthful are we to God and ourselves when He confronts
us with His Truth?
How do we make it easy on us not to be obedient to All His
Truths?
We are lying to ourselves if we say we have a personal
relationship with Jesus and yet choose not to adhere to His Way, His Truth, His
Life.
So lying to others is far secondary than our lying to Jesus.
Perhaps we have never put lying in that context before. We usually see it as a human to human thing!
So start to see it more as a human to God exchange. So if there is any lying done in this union,
it is only coming from one source and that source is not God.
Enough for now.
Sleep tight.
Cover the World with My Love sent from your heart.
