Just me trying to be honest with God.

Friday, January 24, 2014

To thine own self be true but only if being true to yourself does no harm to another.

“Speak the truth in love.” Eph.4

If there was ever an example of how something good can be bad when it is not joined properly to one’s relationship with God, it is in our desire to be authentic. When joined to God, being honest with ourselves, and with others, is a good thing. But raw honesty, expressed without love, can be downright hurtful. Just ask someone who has felt the brunt of living with a person who is always speaking their mind or acting out how they feel with no thought for anyone but themselves.  Conversations Within” ts 1/18/2014 (Jax, FL)
