Honest Words with Faithfulness Inside
My dear son,
I appreciate it when you speak honestly about what you can do. You do not always have to appear capable and well provided for. The faithful heart of my beloved child matters more to me than an impressive appearance.
Someone who sincerely keeps a promise is worth more than a person who gains much through falsehood. Attend carefully to your responsibilities and speak early when something is difficult. Trustworthy words and actions are built one day at a time.
Tell me about your efforts this evening. What needs improvement can be corrected more honestly tomorrow. I hope you enjoy living as a truthful person, beyond the effort of making a good impression on others.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 19:22
WEB22That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
A short reflection
Proverbs identifies faithful kindness as desirable in a person and teaches that being poor is better than being a liar.
