end with the truth

ever heard that its impossible to tell just one lie..

well during my car ride home i thought about it

a husband promised his wife he would be home ( he's dealing with a gambling problem lol after

falling into a large pile of debt)

she texts him on her way home from work & he responds telling her he's sitting on the couch watching the game ( lie 1) he is actually on his was to the car

after his wife arrives home she wonders why he isnt there
and he texts his wife after she arrives home and sees he isnt there
( he then get a strong urge to go the the neighbor hood casino haha ( which im sure in some parts exists)
he's driving down the road going back to their house.
she calls
she asks " where did you go" he thought of saying i went to taco bell but he was hungry..

he thought up.. i had to get batteries.. " batteries?" (lie2)

" yea..for that old toy i found" (lie3)
" what toy?"
umm that old toy robot (lie4) i found in the attic a few days ago (lie 5)
" i dont remember that"
" i guess i found it while you were getting your hair cut"
( lie6)
" oh, so did you find um?"
" no that super batteries R us store apparently doesnt have everything"
(lie7)
" thats strange what type was it?
" uhh i was the special type of 9 volt battery"
(lie8)
" special type?"
"yea idk it was a rare kind of toy"
(lie9)
" alright what ever, i have pork chops for dinner"
" o ok good i love your pork chops"
.. (lie10)

so.. starting with a lie can end with a lie

or can end with the truth

and bill here will have to live with this lie.
i thought about how we can lie to ourselves

and its sounds dumb ( and difficult cause ..well its you lol)

but we all do it
ever told yourself "im not beautiful"

"God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:...."Genesis 1:26
ever thought " i dont have a future im nothing special"
Jer 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
when that thought comes in to your head ...you can entertain it.
..
you can add a lie to a lie or you can end it with the truth

god love you, he cares, he knows you and loves you more than

i or anyone else ever could, no matter what religion or people tell you

he loves you not matter what you've done or what your going to do after you read this.

he cares and i care.
