If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
- 1 John 1:8
To maintain my sense of status in the world, I sometimes build myself up with half-truths. I have moments when I would rather believe lies that seek Your truth. I am weak in that way. But the bottom always falls out from beneath plans based in deception. Sooner or later I end up back at the foot of the cross.
I have such sin, Lord. When I compare my human fickleness to Your godly steadfastness, I am ashamed. But there is redemption in faith that is grounded in Your goodness. I return to You and Your unchanging truth.
