I know many of us have wondered why is so difficult for people to be truthful with us in relationships, friendship, or business partnership. So easily we wonder why do people have to be deceitful or plain out liars when it comes to relationships. In modern day slang why can't they keep it 100...
When questions like these enter my mind I often try to go to the beginning of it all. When humanity had the awesome chance to be real. When God asked Adam "Where are you"? He could have easily confessed I am in sin but instead as we read more of the story he places all the blame on the woman losing all rights to the garden of Eden and to toil and work by the sweat of his brow.
Trust me when we fail to keep it 100 or transparent with others we lose something just like Adam. We may not lose the garden of Eden but how valuable are the trust of friendship, spouses, or love ones. Remember when you fail to be transparent its not only the person deceived that suffers loss but the deceiver as well. So please keep 100..

ReplyDeleteAmen I was wondering the same TODAY to be exact & I say it's the FEAR, the fear of sinful nature being exposed for those who are of truth or for those who are not they love darkness for they are masked by darkness so they think that who they truly are is hidden & can't be uncovered cause they think everybody is the same ( lie from the enemy) so they are just like the next man doing it only to survive (another lie). Until we can accept that we ALL are of a sinful nature &that we have desires & that we error we don't have it all nor know it all & confess our sin before God then the ones we love but using wisdom how we confess that our brother sister won't stumble. And that won't happen until we have true love for one another. For true love cast out fear rejection & it covers a multitude of sin it forgive quickly & turns the next cheek it does not condem or beat up & tear down neither does it divides. Love edifys buildup brings security & with pure wisdom accept people for who they are dispite who they are. And it starts with loving ourself for when we love ourselves we will have the boldness to tell the truth & know that if someone can't receive our truth even though it may hurt then that's not love nor a person we need. When we understand that & apply it it is the beginning of wisdom (God is Love & The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge). Love & respect yourself first aknowledge your flaws confess & ask God to help you with them have mercy love & compassion for others despite their flaws & forgive an offense and your fear of rejection & Fear completely will start to fade.
ReplyDeleteI have come to learn sometimes people are not trying to be deceitful but sometimes I think people are scared of what the other person will think of them. Now some people are just deceitful and want people to believe they are something they are not. Personally I can't be fake because one day I might forget to be fake so it's just better to be who you are and people are either gonna like you or they are not. Also I feel like the amount of information you share with others depends on your relationship, I feel husband and wife should be like an open book to each other or even if you're engaged or want to be the other person should know everything about you the good, bad and ugly. When you are not totally open and honest you don't give people a chance to know the real you and therefore you end up building a relationship on a lie and we all know that will never work. It's best to keep it 100....
ReplyDelete@ Danielle I agree some are scared but I think a person deserves to know who they are dealing with. When a person puts on a front it takes away a person right of choosing if they want him or her in their lives in any compacity.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true we should all be real even if you are scared, so that people can deside for themselves if they want to be in your life.
