Lying.  From early childhood we are taught that it is wrong, that we need to tell the truth to our parents. Then, as we got older, we were taught that little white lies were okay, so as not to hurt someone's feelings or if it could get you into a bad situation. “A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.” ― Alfred Tennyson Lies. So often we believe our own lies. To ourselves and to others. “The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy.” Richard Bach Our Common Self-Lies —God only helps those who help themselves —God’s love must be earned —God understands that’s just the way I am. After all, He made me this way.(Living in sin ) —God does not know or see what I’m doing —God sees things the way I do —God is appeased b
