HONESTY
Spiritual honesty means, "To thine own self, be true." It is one of the
pillars of greatness as it evokes a practical experience of God' love, and
the feeling that God and I are very close. There is so much power in this
experience. Unfortunately, instead of enjoying such greatness in a natural
way, most people forego this opportunity by making excuses. Lying is
the obvious form of dishonesty but, actually, making excuses is worse.
While falsehoods are usually noticeable, it can be a long time before I
realise that I am making excuses. A lot of life can be wasted by this
deception. When you think about it, whatever excuse could there by
for not making yourself close to God?
