“When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.” (Psalm 32:3)
Living a double-life has consequences. The cost of upholding an inauthentic exterior is a groaning and dying interior. We aren’t meant to be two people living in one body – your soul can’t handle that sort of hypocrisy without being torn up by it.
But sincerity requires us to choose God or choose to leave Him. No more hiding our faults, no more deception, and no more pretending we aren’t flawed, messy people who need forgiveness. Expose our sin and free our soul to seek God… the darkness and deception will drown you.
“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11)
