Embracing the Gift of Honesty

In a society where political correctness often disguises itself as polite avoidance to address the real issues, it can be refreshing to hear someone call out absurdities and speak the truth with love. How can you offer the gift of honesty to someone today and gain from it in the process?

Honesty is characterized by a lack of deceit or falsehood, embodying sincerity. At times, being honest involves allowing oneself to be vulnerable when speaking truthfully, trusting that the recipient will not exploit the information shared.

When someone encounters ongoing struggles and continually brings them before the Lord, answers to prayers might be nearer than expected. It requires knowing where to seek assistance. At times, the Holy Spirit guides a person to seek advice or practical help from a particular individual.

If you're facing a persistent challenge and have stopped expecting a solution, you might be overlooking the source of your assistance. The Holy Spirit may be guiding you today to have an honest conversation with someone who could be crucial in helping you address the issue. 

Today, I encourage you to take a step towards trusting someone whom the Holy Spirit is guiding you to talk to about your current challenging situation. This person might be your superior, mentor, a family member, or a friend. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal who this person is and to provide you with the right words to discuss the issue at hand. 

When you're about to offer someone the gift of honesty, be prepared to listen to their reaction. The Holy Spirit often uses individuals to assist others. The assistance may not arrive in the form you expected, but it will guide you in the right direction. Throughout the process, the Holy Spirit will lead you toward the solution, one step at a time.

“An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.”- Proverbs 24:26
