Don't Lie to God

i thought this was very neat. it's a great reminder actually. as sad as it is, but as Christians sometimes we start to pretend with God and forget that He wants to see is the way that we are, not some puffed up people.

Jeremy Taylor gives us some fundamental rules for prayer. And the chief of them is this: "Do not lie to God." And that curt piece of advice, so bluntly thrown down for us, is indeed all-important. Do not burn false fire upon God's altar; do not pose and pretend, either to Him or to yourself, in your religious exercises; do not say more than you mean, or use exaggerated language that goes beyond the facts, when speaking to Him whose word is truth.
