Walls of Deceit
There are some people in this world who pretend to be someone they’re not, intentionally putting on a false face to hide their true motives and intentions. But sooner or later, the truth will emerge. Being dishonest will not only keep you from living a true, godly life, it will separate you from Jesus. The Bible says in Numbers 32:23, “But if you fail to keep your word, then you will have sinned against the LORD, and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.” When you are not presenting your true self to others, you are, in essence, lying about who you are. And God calls that “sin.” There is an old expression that goes like this, “You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” As cunning and sly as you might be, you won’t be able to deceive everyone, and sooner or later, the walls of deceit will start closing in. There is someone that you will never be able to fool, and that is God. He knows your heart and sees through you. He knows you better than anyone else, even better than you know yourself! There is no room in heaven for hypocrites! God wants you to tear down those walls of deceit and stop pretending to be a Christian, and just “BE a Christian!” Allow God to come into your heart and life and take over! You will live a happier life, walking with Jesus, and allowing the world to see the amazing person God created - “the real you” - shining for Him!
