Christians say they want a God of Truth—meaning One who never lies in any way shape or form. But what would it really be like to talk to a God who tells you the absolute truth all the time? Let’s consider how this would change your conversations with God:

You: “God, how much do You love me?”

God: “It depends on how you look at it. I love you more than other people do, but I don’t love you anywhere near as much as I love Myself. When it comes right down to it, I think you’re totally expendable. You aren’t essential to Me in anyway. I made you for My own benefit, not yours. You see, it’s all about Me. You’re like a background detail.”

Total honesty isn’t all that pleasant, is it? What you really want God to say is, “Yes, child, I love you very much.” This is what He does say to you today, but it is a very incomplete answer. Intentionally leaving out information and thereby creating a false impression of reality is just another form of lying, and God does this with us all the time.
