We’re so used to being lied to or lying to ourselves that we
now get angry when we hear the truth.
True story from my life: I was supposed to do something BIG
this past weekend. I had been in on the planning and development stages up
until Friday night. One of the people, new to my circle, was very excited and
looking forward to finally meeting in person, as was I. Come Saturday morning…in
the wee hours…I’m wide awake, up and sick as a dog. I’m trying to push past
whatever it was that was holding my body hostage. I’m up and ironing my outfit
at 5 am when out of nowhere I’m hit by volcanic stomach eruptions from the pit
of hell; I’m throwing up while on the pot (sorry for the graphic imagery but it
lends to the story). I call and text everyone involved in the meet and greet to
tell them I can’t be there….the one person that was most eager has not spoken
to me since!
I learned two things from the situation 1) The individual
had an agenda 2) the person had been lied to and hurt in the past and my
inability to follow through triggered something and I became suspect.
I have since spoken to a nurse practitioner that explained
that I most likely had a mild case of food poisoning. I thought it was
something else because of the time frame involved…but she clarified a few
things for me.
At any rate I had to look at the situation for what it was…..I’m
sorry for the disappointment but I am not the person responsible….time to look
back and do some work.
Proverbs 2:20-21 - So you will walk in the way of the
good and keep to the paths of the righteous. For the upright will inhabit the
land, and those with integrity will remain in it …
2 Corinthians 4:2 but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
