Be completely honest!

Proverbs 10: 18
He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.

If any of us are completely honest, this verse probably speaks to every person within ear shot of this devotional.
I wonder how many people have purposely flattered, the very person they can’t stand.

If we were standing before God, how many of us would be forced to confess the slander of another person?
Seriously, in the end, who really wins?

During moments like these, can we say that we all have pure motives?
I mean, why would any follower of Jesus, detest anyone?

Is there anyone you’re holding animosity toward?
Are holding onto to a wrong, committed against you—or could there be even the slightest bit of unforgiveness in your heart?

Every person I know of, including me, could be within eyelash from standing in the very presence of God.
How would God look at these issues?

Maybe we should keep short accounts, like the Bible suggests that we should.
I know there are people at this very moment, that wouldn’t cross the street to talk to me.

Maybe we should keep the length of the spirit of sin, as short as possible.
So who do you need to go to today, to make the wrong, right?


Perhaps today would be as good a time as any, to actually pick up the phone
