I Have Questions: WordsSample

Have you ever bent the truth, told a “little white lie”, or maybe only said part of the truth without revealing everything to save yourself? “White lies” can sometimes seem totally innocent, but the truth is, it’s still named a “lie” and is deceitful speech. To live a life of complete integrity, we must learn that honest speech includes the whole truth.

When you find yourself making the truth larger than life or covering up parts of the truth to make a story better, ask yourself, “What am I trying to hide?” Spend some time praying this week about the emotions tied to the “little white lies” we tell every day. Then ask God to give you the confidence to speak in only the complete truth.
