A Daily Devotional
About honesty, holiness, and sincerity… 2 Corinthians 1:12 Now this is our boast:
Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and
especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are
from God. (NIV) Nothing reveals the extent
of God at work in your life more than honesty. Honesty revealing God's love
works in you and honesty shines His love out from your life. Holiness begins
with honesty before God, before others, and before yourself as you look in the
mirror. Being honest brings on holiness. Honesty maintains holiness. Being
honest does not mean you need to be confrontational or hurtful in any way.
Honesty is the great insulator keeping the evil of lies away from relationships.
Honesty permits the awesome truth of God to prevail in every part of life.
Honesty keeps the heart pure and full of the presence of God. The temptations of
the world assail the honest heart. However, the prayers of a humble person
reduce temptation to nothing. Honesty brings out the purity of your heart.
Living in honesty means when you see injustice you want to right the wrongs. |
