Authenticity

Heavenly Father,

Fill these precious loved ones with authenticity - no motives, no agendas, to guise or hesitation about truth. May they live in truth, seek truth, see truth in others and be wise beyond their years in  defending truth.  Truth is a person - it is Jesus Christ.  Lord, You said, "I am the way; the truth and the  life. No one comes to the Father but by me."  May my children walk in Your way, live in Your truth and experience the abundancy that comes from life in you.  IJN Amen

 

Cross examine me, O Lord and see that this is so; test my motives and affections too.  - Psalm 26:2

 

​We can justify our every deed but God looks at our motives. - Proverbs 21:2​

​

 

 from Fearless by Max Lucado:

In the movie Hook, Peter Pan had grown up become old and overweight and looked nothing like the Peter the lost boys knew. In the midst of the boys shouting that this was NOT Peter, one of the smallest boys took him by the hand and pulled him down to his level. He then placed his hands on Peter’s face and proceeded to move the skin around, reshaping his face. The boy looked into Peter’s eyes and said, “There you are Peter!” We have a lot in us that only God can see. O that we could feel God’s hands on our faces, pushing away all the stuff of life and hear Him say, “There you are! There you are!”

Precepts are informational truths. The mind is like a muscle and truth, principles and precepts are the barbells needed for the exercise that is critical for the mind’s development.
