Psalm 15:4 (NKJV)
In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the LORD; He [who] swears to his own hurt and does not change;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God can not bless a lie, if one would have God’s blessings in life, one must be honest with Him in their inner parts.. One may be wrong or ignorant, but honest before God, even when it does one hurt… For if one would be honest with themselves one must admit one doesn’t see, doesn’t know, doesn’t understand, one might in part, but not in total….

The place between what one does see and what one doesn’t see, is the place of honesty before God… This is the place of relationship, this is where one’s relationship is, in this place…. In this place does one die and is born again to a hope that brings to life, in this place of honesty…. For one’s outward relationship to all other’s depends on this place of honesty before God, for only what has gone through death can be life to another… This, that which has gone through death, is on the resurrection side of the cross, self has been denied, God’s life can now flow to another through this dividing place of honesty….

For when truth, honesty and righteousness are that alone that is sought after in life, when these alone are what is desired to be manifested to another… God is there manifesting Himself through that truth, honesty and a desire towards righteousness… His comfort and peace and presence will one know… The small things become large, the large become a manifestation of Himself to the joy of the heart… For when one sees God manifesting Himself, the heart rejoices in this seeing, it may be something small to the outside world but the heart has tasted the movement of God, the heart sits in stunned silence before Him, rejoicing, hoping and waiting for more..

For in one’s desire for truth, honesty and righteousness will one be willing to swear to one’s own hurt… In that hurt, in that willingness to take the lowest position will God be found, in that humility of heart, will that place of relationship between God and one be enlarged… For when one desires into truth, honesty and righteousness, one is growing in Christ as fast as one can grow…

For God can not bless a lie, it is a lesson that will pay dividends to the growing and the manifesting of Himself… Then the realization of the eternal truth sets in, ‘let God be true and every man a lier’, for the honesty of heart will demand it of one….
