Rigorous Honesty

“For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭8:21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We have this tendancy to hide our true self because we are afraid of rejection.  We daub spiritual make-up on ourselves to appear presentable to God and others.  This is an exhausting way to live. It's a double life and so far from true authenticity. Yet we justify it as a means to survival in this mean,  not so impressed world. 

An open prayer saturated with rigorous honesty that calls us out of hiding, to quit trying so hard to be impressive , to acknowledge our total dependence on God and the reality of our sin - will cause defenses to fall and masks to drop as we embrace instinct humility.  

Let it be.   

We've committed this year to drench  every prayer with RIGOROUS HONESTY so that we can be who we really are and then be transformed into who God wants us to be. 

Let's be real.
