the truth about honest

Honesty is not merely an option; it’s a calling woven into the fabric of our faith. We are drawn to live lives of integrity because God Himself embodies truth. Yet, being truthful is often hard. We fear the damage that honesty might cause—to relationships, to others’ feelings, or even to our own image. 

Proverbs 12:22 tells us, “The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in those who are truthful,” yet living this out requires a balance between truth and love. Ephesians 4:15 encourages us to “speak the truth in love,” reminding us that truth, without compassion, can be a weapon rather than a healing balm. 

Living honestly in a way that aligns with the world around us and with who we truly are involves humility, patience, and empathy, asking God to guide us so our words bring light and healing rather than harm.
