I recently told a bold face lie. It's not the first time!π and I can only imagine it will not be the last; Only because I'm not perfect! and I will never act as if I amπ. BUT.. If I shoot for the moon.. I could very well land on the stars. (We must
aim high when it comes to
moralsπ) Well... Praise the Lord my father in heaven didn't allow me to succeed in my Lie; *It wasn't good for my soul* Though the battle was won by an opposing liar.. (I had someone lying to me as well) In the end, I made a moral decision. Though my lie was to help a cause.. my op posers lie was about greed!
Lying is a crafty skill, to be good at it is nothing to brag about! Many people are doing it; They make themselves feel better by justifying it,(the lie) Like I just did above!π€ some don't even need to justify! They just lie by default, it's what they've always known.
Have you ever heard a story so crazy it sounds like a lie? Well, the owner of the story may feel it's just too crazy to believe so they'll lie by default. It's easier in their eyes! I use to work with a nurse that would ask what happen? when a patient was found on floor (a fall) Once she'd hear the story, If It didn't sound believable to her, she'd say.. "No, I don't think so" she couldn't accept the truth! And in the medical field, the truth is often rearranged.. pick your reason of why, There are plentyπ That's just the way of the business. Every business has and will always protect themselves! No body will purposefully incriminate themselves.
Think of your own young children.. when they report they've broken something around the house.. they'll not say the part where they were probably running through the house. π· π So, just like in our parenting, We make things safer around the house.. hospitals adapt and modify rules and practices to help keep the patients safe and accident free while in their care.
But back to my point.. It's just so hard to live a lie free lifeπ. I guess it just depends on what kind of lying one is doing and WHY. Bottom line!! people lie. For me, I'm not good at it.. and that's ok. I prefer to follow the rules of the land and life, while living by Gods words as much as my flesh will allow. And I am only addressing a fact! .... It's hard not to ever lie! But we must always choose the moral path.. where ever that may lead. May we all just TRY to do better on this earth.. I'm just simply here to encourage us ALL to try.
Proverbs 6:16-19 King James Version (KJV)
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
