“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
When we lie, we separate ourselves from the truth. Being apart from the truth, cripples our ability to sustain the onslaught of accusations that come from our enemy. Our enemy is searching, prowling around for someone whom to devour. May the Christian not be the victim of slaughter, but that we cling to the truth. The truth visually is shaped in the form of love. A love known free from darkness and a love that requires the truth and its freedom to sustain its power. A love of lies creates a hatred from truth. When we reflect upon the requirement placed upon the believer we should seek the Father goodness and mercy, kindness and freedom to bring forth the creation of his perspective unto the meaning of existence.
