The honesty of Christianity is refreshing. But it is also scary precisely because I cannot hide. It requires me to ask questions of myself and of God. I cannot impress him with words or rhetoric. I cannot persuade him with being more moral than someone else. No he hones in on my heart and tells me the honest truth, that my heart is sick and inclined towards pursuing myself. But he also tells me the honest truth that he deeply loves and delights in me and desires for me to pursue him.
So much more could be said but the point remains. Christianity is incredibly honest which is both refreshing and scary. And so the question remains. Will I be honest today with where I am in my walk with Christ? Will I be honest with my words today with my neighbors and friends? Will I be honest and recognize what God thinks of me? Will I honestly confess and believe in the sufficiency of Christ?
Will I be honest? The light is brighter and it takes time to adjust our eyes to it. It exposes all of our blemishes and flaws but it is far better than living in darkness.
