Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each
one of you speak the truth with his neighbor,
for we are members one of another.
Ephesians 4:25

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his
appearance or on the height of his stature, because
I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man
sees: man looks on the outward appearance,
but the Lord looks on the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7

We can’t hide anything. As men we’d like to think we’re

Actually really good at hiding things. That crack in the
drywall, that ding in the car door (just buff it out), we hide
while we hunt, and we hide the imperfections in our lives.
But we also hide the darker stuff.

We hide our sins. We hide our fears. We hide our love.

God sees right through it all. We can hide behind things, but
God doesn’t see our outer, over-confident selves, he sees
the broken pieces inside. Come to a place of surrender, giving
Him those pieces, and forget about trying to convince him
otherwise. It’ll never work. He loves you too much.
