Honestly!

No man has a good enough memory to make a successful liar.  ~Abraham Lincoln

Psalm 24:3-5    
Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place?  He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul 1to falsehood And has not sworn deceitfully.  He shall receive a blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. (NASB95)
Truth is something that requires special handling. It is simple and yet it can be harmful, or helpful. God’s Word gives us an insight in Eph. 4 15, “but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ.” 
Scripture tells us that we are to place the truth in a vessel of sacrificial love patterned by Christ. We find also from the beginning that God has placed us slightly behind His majesty in His commandments to us, which are commands and not just suggestions, as others have said..
We are commanded to Love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and body. The second commandment…to love our brother as ourselves.  Ok, it’s pretty clear. We are to weigh our words carefully on the scale of “Agape Love.” Our words may sometimes cut, but you must also bind their wounds…God’s Blessings.
