HONESTY AND THE TRUTH

MIXED MEDIA PEN AND WATERCOLOR WAX MARKERS

How does it feel when your conscience is fully clear and your integrity intact?  I would submit to you that you feel liberated and rightly so.  There are times when we go rogue and maybe tell half truths and later feel the guilt that it naturally brings, but then it is more difficult to correct and we wished we just told the truth to begin with.

I'm sure you are all aware that God sees all.  Sometimes we do forget this and are in denial as if we can really hide our discrepancies from God.  It's amusing to think but yet we continue to deny it.

Our own guilt prompts us to hide the truth from God.  The truth is, God can handle our truth.  He can handle our transgressions, our guilt, our stresses, our cries for help, etc.  We are human and humans come with the vileness of life and God is fully aware.  The degradation of humans doesn't get better, it actually gets worse.  But even then, it is just part of God's great plan.  It's amazing that God, in all His power, chose to let us make our own choices and therefore, He is still unable to control one human spirit.  That spirit He can only love unconditionally so that one spirit, that one lost sheep, can love Him back.  He has the overall power to do whatever He wants to do except to make us love Him.  That part is our part.  To love Him wholeheartedly is all He ever desires.  This is why He is full of mercy, He is full of grace and this is exactly why He sacrificed Jesus for us, so that roadblock can crumble between us and God.  What limitless love He has for us, and all He ever wants in return is for us to choose Him.  Who do you choose?

Until my next rant... LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
