Rather
(instead of giving up when you are rejected), we won’t resort to desperate
tactics, dishonesty, or try to spin the word of God. No, we transparently
present God’s Truth. The, it is up to them. Even if this Truth is hidden, it is
only hidden to those who have been blinded by Satan. Choosing the road to
certain death, some can’t see God’s light and truth and glory the truth about
Jesus. (2 Corinthians 4:2-4)
Do you sometimes choose to talk more (or only) about God’s love and care and gifts, and the peace and joy of following? Do you hesitate to give the full picture of what life lived on God’s terms will require of others? Have you ever been surprised to see someone turn away from God angrily when things go wrong, or when times are hard?
People deserve the truth. God did not create men and women with the freedom to choose so they could be tricked into choosing relationship with Him. The work with each person God sends you, as Paul explains, is to share the unvarnished truth with them. That is the only way that you can be obedient, and God can be glorified. There is no end that justifies anything less than transparency. Your end is always to obey God’s call.
Be transparent. Present the truth about Jesus and His work in your life authentically and honestly.
