Sincerity Melts
Today’s Reading: Psalm 19:12
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+19%3A12&version=GNT

Being sincere is not easy. Being sincere requires discipline, honesty in the correct judgment of all things. Sincerity begins in the relationship we have with ourselves, we cannot exaggerate when we judge the best or the worst that constitutes our personality.

We need to be honest with the people around us; we cannot say one thing in front of a person, and behind quite another.

As far as God is concerned, sincerity must be in the way we worship and the prayer we address to Him.

To live as Christians, we can never get rid of sincerity. Sincerity can melt the hardest heart.

Our relationship with God can be a mixture of holiness and hypocrisy. It is necessary to review our faith daily, because there may be a hidden facet of our feelings. The best therapy to cure us of insincerity is to ask God: Lord, may there be in me a sincere willingness towards you and my neighbor. As for my mistakes, “Deliver me from hidden faults.”

Sincerity & Love
Today’s Reading: James 3:17 Version=NIV
It is very difficult to tell our friends: “No!” “I disagree!” “You are wrong!” The reason for this is that we do not like being disagreeable.

Our reluctance to say no to people can lead to difficult situations, commitments become a heavy burden. Our desire to be nice to everyone makes us do things that go against our will and our principles. The dilemma is how to be sincere and honest without creating frictions or resentments?

The answer, according to the Bible, is a behavior directed by the wisdom of God. Let’s see what it says: “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.”

Many people confuse sincerity with rudeness, lack of education and stupidity. To be honest, first, it is to be frank and say a few truths, face to face.

Secondly, sincerity, according to the wisdom of God is the natural result of a pure heart, free from preconceptions, full of love, kindness and mercy ideas. The heart that meet these conditions, with sincerity and honesty, you need never worry about disturbing or displeasing.
