I Lie to Others

I lie, and I shouldn’t. The Bible tells me so.

Ephesians 4:55 (TLB)
Stop lying to each other; tell the truth, for we are parts of each other and when we lie to each other we are hurting ourselves.

My lies – not good for me, not good for them, not good for us.

Lying is good for nothing.

 

Good morning, Lord. I sometimes lie because it is convenient, it makes things easier in the moment. Forgive me. Give me eyes to see how truth works for the good of everyone over the long haul. Help me speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), as does Jesus Christ, to help and not hurt, to serve others more than myself, for Your glory and not my own.
