HONESTY...
The best form of Honesty is with ourselves, and a good question to ask ourselves...
Am I an honest person? Does my lifestyle and behavour denote the truth of just how honest I am?
Simple questions, yet perhaps with not so simple answers, because we are imperfect people, and often do not meet the standard of an honest person...
Next good question... Why? Why do I fail to be honest, especially with myself, and just how honest am I in relation to others? IF only the answers came as easily as the questions do.
Take myself for an example... a good Christian person, with a desire and love for attending Church, and a good team-player too. So, where does dishonesty come into my life?
I'm not a thief, and I have no desire for a lot of Worldly pleasures and gifts, so just where does being dishonest come into the picture?
Perhaps I ought to be asking others who see me more clearly than I see myself. Still, in the deeper parts of one's being, there is a prompting that takes place, quietly and honestly, no matter how many excuses we make for our failures.
This prompting comes to us through the Holy Spirit because of our attempts at being honest. Nothing is wasted where God is concerned. HE sees ALL / and HE knows ALL, down to the minutest detail in our lives.
Imagine that. Nothing is hidden from the Mind of God, and the more we become God -like, the easier it will be for us to see the working's of the Holy Spirit.
The Gift of Honesty will be mine!
