You can’t depend on a liar to be a good witness.

But you can depend on an honest person to be a good witness.

Proverbs 14:5 (KJV) – a faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

Hold on to those things that are good.

I Thessalonians 5:21 (KJV) – prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Can you imagine God hating anything?

He does.

He hates lying, those who kill innocent people, a lying witness, those who are quick to run towards trouble, an evil heart, and those who intentionally stir up trouble.

Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) – these six things doth the Lord hate, seven are an abomination unto him: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swuft in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Living at odds with others is not God’s will for us.

His will is for you to be at peace with one another.

Romans 12:18 (KJV) – if it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Don’t do them wrong because they did you wrong.

Rather, kill them with kindness.

Romans 12:22 (KJV) – be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

We go through life trying to be guided by others and ourselves.

God has His eyes on you to guide you and teach you.

Let Him.

Psalm 32:8 (KJV) – I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

We get upset when we don’t get back what we lend out.

To the borrower . . . Owe no man nothing.

To the lender . . . Lend without expecting it back.

God owns it all, He will reward you.

Luke 6:35, Romans 13:8 (KJV) – but love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Stop expecting the royal treatment from others when you don’t want to give it.

Give the kind of love you want to receive.

Matthew 7:12 (KJV) – therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Don’t just say the words; I love you, but show your love in the truth.

I John 3:18 (KJV) – my little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
