Devotional
Transparency isn't just about being honest with our words; it's about allowing others to see our authentic selves. When we live transparently, we acknowledge that we have nothing to hide because we're secure in God's love and acceptance. This doesn't mean sharing everything with everyone, but it does mean being genuine in our relationships and willing to be vulnerable when appropriate. Remember, our private choices shape our public testimony.
Bible Verse
'No harmful lie will be found on their lips, for they will feed and lie down and no one will make them afraid.' - Proverbs 12:21-23
