Human honesty is often poorly
timed. The reason is simple; the underlying motivation to "be honest"
is grounded in selfishness rather than divine love. God speaks truth with pure
motives while we do not. We mostly speak up when we are in fear of losing
something or being harmed. Honesty in this case is
no more than our intent to control our surroundings. Father, TRUTH IN LOVE,
there is no other way.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
