“Honesty is always the best policy.” This simple yet profound truth guides us in building trust and living in alignment with God’s commandments. God instructs us not to lie, steal, or deceive in any way. Proverbs 12:22 tells us, “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are His delight.” Honesty helps us develop selflessness, deepen our love for others, and live in truth.
However, honesty can be challenging. Sometimes, bending the truth feels easier, but the peace that comes with truthfulness is worth the effort. When we live honestly, we honor God, create authentic relationships, and free ourselves from the burdens of deception.
