As we continue our week focusing on honesty, today we're going to look at how true

honesty affords us the ability to be more fully loved. At the foundation of it all, we're all

searching for love. And the fullness of love can only be experienced when we allow true

love to find its way into every part of us by bringing who we fully are into our relationships.

May God love us powerfully today as we make space to be more honest with him and ourselves.

For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed,

but my steadfast love shall not depart from you.

Isaiah 5410.

The ultimate results of honesty,

the reason for being fully known is that we might be

fully loved. You weren't made to live without continuous, total revelation of God's love for you.

His love is the foundation. It's the reason for being. Without his love, we have nothing. And without

honesty, will never fully experience his vast wealth of affection for us. Isaiah 5410 is God's promise

for you and me today. He says to us, for the mountains may depart and the hills may be removed,

but my steadfast love shall not depart from you. The question today is not whether God loves us,

and the question is not whether we have the ability to experience his love.

Scripture commands us in Psalm 348, O taste and see that the Lord is good.

The question is whether we're receiving the love already made available to us.

You see, unless we come before God, fully honest, we only present part of ourselves for Him

to love.

Unless we let Him into every area of our lives, we'll live with a separated notion of God's

love.
