Being True and Being Right

This has been something on my mind for quite a while now. There is a difference being right about something and being true about something. We could give a moral upright answer to any question but can we say that we are true to them? We could live our lives to the very ink of the "dos and don'ts" but can we say that we are sincere about them?

I've always wanted to be right but i forgot all about being true. I guess that's why God nudged me with yet another one-liner,"quit being right and start being true". Now being true isn't just being genuine and sincere, it involves a lot of honesty and honesty is the mark of humbleness. Honesty before God and man.

I think we should be open and honest to God about whatever values or perspective we currently hold (yes. right or wrong. upright or not.), instead of shoving them under the carpet of our hearts and secretly peeking at them at times. Well, with that said, we will no longer have a facade on before God but be open before Him. Oh and that means open to change as well! =D

Ah. There's just so much to contemplate on for this topic!
