"Stop lying to each other; tell the truth, for we are parts of each other and when we lie to each other we are hurting ourselves." (Eph 4:25 TLB) Lying benefits no one and hurts everyone involved. Lying to a brother or sister is like lying to one's self, in that we are all connected. Would one in their right mind intentionally hurt one's self? Certainly not. It has been said that "The truth hurts" and true that may be in some cases, but it doesn't cause damage like a lie! The hurt of truth ultimately heals whereas, the hurt of a lie continually brings harm. Tell the truth! OUCH....THE TRUTH HEALS!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your healing truth. Help us spread the healing by always speaking the truth in love with no lies. Amen.
Prov 8:6-9. . . .Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. KJV
