Speaks The Truth From Their Heart

Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart;

whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others;

who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind;

who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

Whoever does these things will never be shaken.

Psalm 15:1-5

Are you an honest man? Am I?

Honest people are hard to find at any age, but the trait is one that greatly matters. Honesty is not only the best policy, it is the only policy, and one of the marks of a man or woman who lives in God’s presence.

Do you speak the truth in love or do you fudge the facts and fade the facts now and then, or exaggerate for emphasis?

The One who has begun a good work in me is faithful. He will do it.

Live in such a way that when people think of honesty and integrity, they will think of you.
