Lying to Yourself

“When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself.” (Ephesians 4:25 MSG)

Get to know yourself. Go ahead. Take all the time you need. 

What do you want and need?
What is important to you?
What are your core principles? 

Do not merely drift along with the mindless crowd, conforming to the expectations of others, addicted to approval, picking up scraps that are thrown your way. This is not what you need or want. Stop lying to yourself.  Refuse to participate in pretense. 

Ask God for discernment, to open your senses, to grant you spiritual enlightenment, to understand your soul’s true needs. Pray for detachment from human validation. Instead, seek awareness and self-acceptance. Explore your feelings, thoughts, and wants. Take your interior life seriously. For this is where the Spirit of Truth resides.
