Find someone you can be totally honest with (God?)

 


Oftentimes, we seem to have no one that we can be truly honest with. 

There is always one person that you can and should be totally honest with, in my opinion. God.

Easier said than done, though.

Who is this God?

Many people have many ideas (or perhaps none at all).

I am very thankful to have good friends I can be very honest with.

Most of the time, they don't have the answers I want to hear.

That makes them no less of a human friend.

Sometimes the silence of God to our honesty with Him can be deafening to us.

Maybe He wants you to dig a little deeper.

Maybe He is waiting for you to be honest with Him.

Forget all the rules and regulations that you may have been exposed to.

He is a living God. 

He created you.

Knit you within the womb and knows everything about you.

If you can't be honest with the very God who called you into existence, then who can you be honest with?

"But God causes pain!"

God endured pain for us.

He defeated death at its own game and is there to forgive.

Pray for me as I pray for you.

I am a sinner.

My parents were sinners.

My ancestors were sinners.

Alone I am doomed, but with my friends and my God anything is possible.

Yes, forgiveness.

Redemption.

Mercy.
