Be a Truth Teller
“Life is pretty complicated on the best of days. How much worse do we make it when we get ourselves tangled up in falsehoods? Whether we consider them whoppers or little white lies, the truth of the matter is that it’s all deception,, and there’s no joy in any of it.
…Our words and actions must be truthful and trustworthy. If we are truth tellers, we don’t have to worry about being found out or having the truth come to light. We don’t have to concern ourselves with who speaks to whom about anything.
… We can never live joyfully while engaging in behavior detestable to the Lord. We must live genuinely If we wish to live joyfully.” (Joyful)
