Yesterday, while I was at a bus stop, I overheard a man a short distance from me receiving a call on his hand phone. He told the caller that he was in a meeting and he hurriedly hung up. I was stunned. He surely was not in a meeting. The caller would be upset if he or she knew the truth.
Lying is not just wrong but it is a vicious cycle that never ends because once a lie is told, one needs to cover it with more lies. A lie is a lie, whether it is a white lie or flattery that is not from one’s heart.
The word of God exhorts us to be truthful. He tuned in to every conversation that we hold. In fact He already knew what is on our hearts before we speak out. He wants us to mean what we say and say what we mean so that we as His children will not bring dishonour and reproach to His name. For only the pure in heart will see His face.
