Proverbs 24:26 NLT An honest answer is like a kiss of friendship.
It’s important that we’re honest with everyone. We should be honest with our children, honest with our spouses, honest with our coworkers, and honest with ourselves.
People lie for multiple reasons. They lie to spare a person’s feelings, they lie to “preserve a child’s innocence,” or they lie to avoid consequences. At the end of it all, a lie is based in fear. When a person lies, they’re afraid the truth will somehow harm them or the other person.
As we can see from scripture, honesty does the opposite of what we think. We think being honest will push people away, but it actually draws them closer to us. Honesty proves we can be trusted. If we lie about one thing, how can we be trusted in other areas?
Stop lying to “keep the peace.” Stop lying to make yourself look good. Stop lying to avoid consequences. Be honest with everyone to keep your conscience clear and to display your integrity.
When someone asks you a question, be completely honest with them.
