"Liars"
Have you ever noticed how much easier it is for some people to lie rather than just tell the truth about something? This tends to be the case with people who know and maybe even love one another, as well as people who might be complete strangers. It is sometimes easier to lie to a stranger than to a loved one, but a lie is a lie no matter what. People will often claim that telling the truth about something just complicates things, and sometimes it might. These are obviously people who have not done very much lying, because nothing can complicate things as much as lying does. Also, have you ever noticed how difficult it is to believe someone who is a consummate or perpetual liar? Some people often see this as just being fun, but have they taken the time to consider what might happen if they truly need someone to believe what they are saying, but no one wants to believe that they are telling the truth? And have you ever noticed how a person who is a liar themselves finds it easier to accept the lies that others tend to spew? It is much like the old saying, birds of a feather flock together, and all because they understand one another.
Therefore child of Mine, be or become the type of person who abhors lying and liars because The Lord JESUS was not a liar, and you want to be a learner and follower of JESUS CHRIST. Lying is indeed something that I detest because of the damage and the recklessness it can cause. Lying has been the cause of wars, broken homes, broken marriages, broken hearts, and other types of confusion. Blessed are those of you who are lovers of truth, even when the truth may be difficult to tell. People tend to make all kinds of excuses for telling lies, and when it really comes down to where the rubber meets the road, so to speak, all they really turn out to be are excuses. How often have you seen truly good things result from lies and lying without eventually causing some type of harm? The truth can often be spoken and then dealt with, whereas a lie tends to have tentacles hanging all over the place, causing a person to either become a good liar or one who will eventually just fall apart and tell the truth anyway. May you therefore be or become a person who can be trusted to tell the truth, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.
AMEN
