The truth is we struggle to be truthful. What I mean by that is we struggle to be filled with and full of truth.
White lies, half-truths, partial truths, and a penchant for exaggeration - all symptoms of the struggle.
The trouble with accountability is we are ashamed of telling the truth, ashamed that in the process of counting some things don’t quite add up.
Indiscretions? Yes. Small things? Yes. Important? Of course.
It still doesn’t make sense even though we know full well that faithfulness in the little things is supposed to translate in faithfulness with the big things.
We want to be trusted with the big things but we slip in the small things (for one reason or another) and make more of a mess of it all in the struggle to be truthful.
The truth is we struggle to be truthful. What I mean by that is we struggle to be filled with and full of truth.
