          Have you ever wanted to say, “Just tell me the truth.”?  It is amazing how the truth is taking a beating these days.  Whether it is in the political arena, the court system, advertising or in our personal relationships it is often difficult to get to the truth of the matter.  For whatever reason, it seems that the truth is hard to find.  I think I am to the point where I just wish people would tell the truth.  It’s almost that I don’t care whether I would like the information or not, just be honest with me.
          Now having said that, let’s consider what people think about us.  Are they asking the same thing of us?  Whether it is in our business, personal relationships or on official documents the people around us deserve to hear the truth from us.  Sure, we can excuse our “misinformation” by advocating that we are trying to position ourselves in the best light or even wanting to let people hear what they want to hear; but the truth of the matter is that it is not the truth.
          Years ago, when Jesus was discussing the veracity of some of His contemporaries He stated, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44).  How we speak and what we say will tell others to whom we owe our allegiance – the God of Truth or the father of lies. 
          Let’s just tell the truth.  God expects it and people deserve it.
          Think About It!
