Being Honest is your best bet

Being honest is something that should be on everyones mind. When we are honest we try to do our best at whatever we may be doing. Sometimes it may seem hard to be honest when it seems so easy to be dishonest, but why would you want to try to cheat somebody when your not only cheating them but yourself as well. As we live a life of honesty we find ourselves caring for the welfare of others and are willing to do what we can to better them. This act of honesty and love truly shows someone how much you care for them. What happens when we act dishonestly? There could be many consequences for being dishonest but think about what it does to you, you just have to justify it a little bit and then it becomes ok and after that first time it makes it easier and easier to continue in that same way. The feelings of peace and relief that we revieve from being honest are far more pleasing than the feelings of worry and sorrow from being dishonest. We are trusted more and are able to trust those who are honest. Have you ever lost or misplaced something and hoped that some good person would find it and make an attempt to return what they found? That doesnt always happen but what if it did the world would be a nicer place without anyone lying, cheating or stealing. Until that day comes we can only do what we can do and we can do it as honestly as we can.



2 Corinthians 13
7Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
