Too many fabrications

I had a very low time yesterday. For about fifteen minutes, tears sprang to my eyes as I thought about all the people I knew and all my family members, and about lies. Now I'm not saying that I have never told a lie, because I have. When I was younger and was not serving the Lord as I should have, I was quite the liar. But yesterday I saw through a different set of eyes. I was looking through the eyes of a person that sincerely wants to serve God, and be as much like Jesus as I could be. And when I looked with those eyes, I saw how destructive lies can be. What hit me the hardest was the fact that, no matter how much you may love someone, if they are often telling lies, then it's hard to have a real relationship with them. A relationship based on lies, is really heading nowhere.

I thought about my Friends and family. and realized, that far too many were, fluent in making false statement. Some for what seems to be the enjoyment of getting one over on someone. Or to make themselves seem bigger, brighter, smarter, better, richer, or whatever. And of course the ones who are not living the most honest of lives. They tell lies to cover the facts of their wrong doing.

There's not a thing I can really do about any of them, except pray that the Lord will show them the wrongness of their ways. But it still hunts when someone you love, lies, and you know the whole while they're speaking, that what's coming out of their mouths are fabrications.

People, lies hurt, they hurt others, and believe it or not they hurt the person telling the lie.

Until next time God bless.
