The Master saw Nathanael approaching and said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit,” John 1:47 ESV. “No deceit”! What an amazing endorsement from the Son of God! I wish to be that kind of person, but ridding oneself of all falsehood is more difficultthan I thought it would be. Progress has been made for sure but still I struggle. Learning to live with a wide-open heart requires a deep love for truth and a steadfast willingness to always seek it, understand it and defend it, even when it is inconvenient or hurtful. Just as importantly, truth must always be bathed in love: “Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” Ephesians 4:15 ESV. Lord of Truth and Love, take me to the next level. Whatever is false, whatever is impure, whatever is disingenuous, exterminate from me now. Shine Your purifying light into every shadowed space in my soul make me more like You.
