Relationship Vision & Honesty - Part II

I wanted to follow up my post from yesterday and confess. I've lied. I've been a coward just like all of us and taken the easy, most-traveled route.

I don't ever want to come across in these posts like I've figured it all out. And I dang sure don't want to leave the grace of God hanging.

Yes, we must seek to be honest if we're going to have healthy, powerful relationships. And first we must be honest with God in seeking His forgiveness and strength.

The psalmist said: "When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone." (Psalm 32:3-5)

The greatest power we have in our relationships w/God and others is honesty in our heart . . . and seeking God's cleansing.
