SAY YES AMD MEAN IT

SAY YES AND MEAN IT


I think we ALL like to
Think of ourselves
As HONEST PEOPLE


But I think we LIVE
In a world=maybe
With LESS HONESTY
Than ever before


At the least=we all=including
MYSELF=EXAGGERATE just a little
Bit==to make ourselves
LOOK BETTER


But lying is a HUMAN PROBLEM=
The OLD TESTAMENT
Warns against it
And Jesus himself says=


“Let your “Yes” mean “Yes” and your
“No” mean “No” Matthew 5:37


Say yes to LOVING GOD
Say YES to LOVING OTHERS
And mean it


Let it be seen
In your thoughts=words=
And actions


BE HONEST ALWAYS


“But they need not
ACCOUNT for the money
Entrusted to them


Because they are HONEST
In their dealings” 2 Kings 22:7


“An HONEST WITNESS
Tells the truth


But a false witness
Tells lies” Proverbs 12:17


As always=HONESTY is
The best policy
SAY YES AND MEAN IT


Ask yourself=if you
Are completely HONEST
With others


Or do you “SHADE”
The truth for your
Own benefit


TRY to tell the TRUTH
At all times=in small things=
And in LARGE


The truth is the
WAY OF GOD=
The way of JESUS


Even if it works
AGAINST YOU


“The one
Whose WALK is blameless
Who does


What is RIGHTEOUS
Who speaks the TRUTH
From their heart” Proverbs 15:2


“I have not
Spoken in secret
From somewhere


In a land of darkness
I have NOT said
To Jacob's descendants
'seek me in vain'


I the LORD
Speak the TRUTH
I declare
What is right” Isaiah 45:19


So let us ALL
BE like God our FATHER
And his SON Jesus Christ


Let us say YES
And mean it
And STAND FIRM=IN TRUTH


On the WORD OF GOD


In Jesus' name
