Sunday Reflection

“Instead, by speaking the truth in a spirit of love, we must grow up in every way to Christ, who is the head. Under his control all the different parts of the body fit together, and the whole body is held together by every joint with which it is provided. So when each separate part works as it should, the whole body grows and builds itself up through love.”

- Ephesians 4:15-16

In my last Sunday Reflection I brought up being honest with yourself and the person you are dating or talking to. When your not honest with yourself you cannot be honest with anyone. Starting a new relationship or getting to know someone should start with the truth. We should never keep that person wondering how we feel. I use to be that way where I wouldn’t say exactly how I felt. Basically, I sugar coated my truth, which made me a dishonest person. I realized later on I may have been playing with that persons emotions. I knew I needed to say what I meant and be clear about the way I was feeling. Speaking our mind means saying how you feel in a sincere way.

Having a relationship begin with dishonesty will most likely end with dishonesty. The relationship will drag along and be hard to break away because we are stuck on not being straight up with the person we are dealing with. In the beginning we are evaluating them, we are seeing how they react to different things. But if you are not truthful about the way you feel, you are showing that you are okay with something you are not. You only know a person from what they present to you.

Presenting your true self is the best way for a person to see you. Our aim should be to bless not to impress.
