We confuse the honesty of our emotions with the honesty of reality. Because we don't FEEL good doing something, we call ourselves honest and true when we speak out against the offending job/person/environment. But it's not disingenuous to commit to an outlook, to a course of action that follows God despite our circumstances. Deciding to follow God and deny some of your preferences/comforts isn't hypocritical at all. It's the way of Jesus.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942605977388738260noreply@blogger.com
