“An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.” Proverbs 24:26 (NIV)

Question, have you ever been kissed? I mean like really kissed? Like kissed with such intensity that you cheeks tingled, you began to blush and forgot your own name? Yeah, me neither, LOL. I’m funny. And don’t even try to front as if you didn’t play kissing games growing up. Heck, some of y’all are still struggling with kissing games now. Mmm, hmmm just fast! LOL, Nevertheless, that’s not what this is about today. No, here’s the real deal:

This is about honesty:

Most who know me know that I’m a bit of a spitfire when it comes to telling the truth. Now let me qualify this for all of my theologians, know that I’m not speaking of an unbridled tongue or being quick to speak. I’m talking about sharing honestly, soberly and according to biblical measure. And say what you will, but I think there’s something to be said for those willing to hold each other accountable. It’s sad nowadays. People don’t really do that anymore. We see obvious wrong, yet choose to ignore it for whatever reason. Yet if you think about it, it really takes a brave person to look someone in the face, and say the difficult thing. Really, people will tell you you’re great, but who’s going to tell you when you’re being a butt? And how much more beneficial would it be if someone said, “You know you’re a nice girl, but your attitude can be kinda stank sometimes.” Or “You seem like a cool dude, but the way your carry yourself makes your integrity seem faulty.”
