Ever sent a text that started with:
“Sorry, just seeing this.”
…when you actually saw it three days ago? 😅
Most of us have.
Why?
Because admitting we forgot feels uncomfortable.
Admitting we dropped the ball requires humility.
Admitting we’re wrong often requires asking for forgiveness.
So instead, we protect ourselves.
The problem is that self-protection can easily become dishonesty.
God calls us to something different.
Paul says these things aren’t fitting for God’s people because they aren’t who God is.
God doesn’t deceive.
God doesn’t manipulate.
God doesn’t hide behind excuses.
He is truth.
And when we belong to Him, we’re called to reflect His character in the way we speak, act, and treat others.
Not because we’re trying to earn God’s love.
Because we’ve already received it. ✝️
