Sometimes the hardest person to be honest with, is yourself. We may tell ourselves we're happy, when we're not; that we're satisfied, when we're actually longing for something more...or that we don't care... when deep down we care very much.
Being honest with yourself doesn't mean you have to have all the answers. It means being willing to acknowledge what is really in your heart, even when the truth may be uncomfortable or hurts.
Sometimes we don't need more answers — we need more honesty. Jesus will provide us the answers.
And once we're honest with ourselves, we can bring those honest feelings before God and ask Him to show us what is true, what needs to change, and what He wants for our lives.
You don't have to know exactly where you're going. But you do need to stop pretending you're somewhere you're not.
Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV) "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."
Psalm 32:8 (KJV) "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye."
I think Proverbs 3:5–6 is the strongest choice. ❤ But the best is John 3:16, which tells us how to get where we need to be.
That’s the door Jesus walks through. When we’re real with ourselves, we can be real with Him.
