Honesty to GOD
I have often said you must be absolutely honest to GOD. Do not lie to GOD. You probably might think that is it not so necessarily difficult; however, did you understand that when you are all alone, in private or away from everybody else GOD is especially listening and paying attention to you? When you are alone is when you have to be especially honest to GOD also. Remember also, don't ever lie to yourself. For example if you are a "functioning" alcoholic, tell yourself that. Take honest inventory of yourself, because GOD is also keeping track of everything you say, believe in, do and don't do. Don't lie to yourself, because GOD is also "in there" listening and paying attention. Bottom line if you lie to yourself you are also lying to GOD.
