John 8:44
"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
Proverbs 26:23-28
"Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart. Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. ..."
I admit that reading this made m sad. Why? Well, I am a liar and a deceiver. I deserved every word on your page. I want to be truthful and speak truth but the lies just come out uncontrollably. I pray that I may stop lying all together and be a better person. Thank you fr the slap in the face!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, thank you for responding. The fact that you can admit what you do, hate it and desire to be different is an indicator that you are either on the road to recovering from it or have already resolved to think and act differently. Confession is the key to spiritual growth and change. May the Lord help you to become the person He wants you to be, may His love and forgiveness envelop you as you continue to move forward in your growth.
