To Tell the Truth
Posted in Cheryl's Posts 0 comments
Good morning everyone!
It is a beuatiful day, get out and enjoy God's work.
'Some folk would rather climb a tree and tell a lie, than to stand on flat ground and tell the truth.' This was a saying of my mother's that I would often hear when watching TV with her.
But it brings up an interesting question for me, why is it so hard to tell the truth? It is because we will be embarassed if the truth comes out or it the truth to hurtful to face, so we make up a story that is less hurtful to us and others. In God's word He tells us, 'The truth shall set you free!' He already knows the truth about us, so there is no reason to lie to Him. We also know the truth about ourselves, we can try to lie to ourselves, but deep down we know. So, that leaves everybody else and most of them know the truth about us, so, why lie? It doesn't do anyone any good. You tell one lie, then you have to create another to cover the one before. and the string of lies continues.
Be free my friends, tell the truth! You will feel better and you will find that there are many around you going through similar situations and they help you. Don't be ashamed or embarassed.
Have avery blessed day everybody!
