1400 Love is Honest

Not a prideful attitude — “I’ve got it all together!”

Really??? You don’t!

You can pretend all you want. But eventually, your hiding place in your heart of pride will be found out. You’ll be pushed to make a change one way or another.

Relationships can’t survive on whims and masks. Marriage isn’t pretend. It’s real life, moving forward or backwards.

Think about how your marriage is. Your relationship with your spouse. Is it open and honest, all fears and flaws exposed?

Or are you hiding in the swamp of chaotic make believe?

It’s time to climb out of your hiding place.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Love is honest!

When you are honest, you are sincere in heart, action, mind, and body. There is a commanding truthfulness that fills your life.

“The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.” ~ 1 Timothy 1:5

God wants to see your marriage succeed. He wants to see joy in your heart.

But you can’t envelop yourself in joy and what God desires for you when you are wearing masks, pretending to be someone you are not. There is no sincerity when you can’t be you.

You must be willing to break the mold of masks.

So what is it going to take for you to breakfree of the masks?

No more masquerade balls. The party is over. The time is now to focus on your marriage and make each other a priority.

Whether or not you think your spouse will be onboard, you take the first step.

1. Begin with a pure heart, releasing the masks.
2. Open your heart to what God desires.
3. Take each step knowing God is leading you. It’s not what you can do, but what God can do through you.

Love is honest.

Choose to see honesty in love as an open door for your transformation and restoration, forgiveness and hope.
