Honesty: Choosing to be truthful in whatever you say and do.
Memory Verse: “The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.” Proverbs 12:22
Honesty isn’t always easy. Sometimes it feels like things might turn out better if we “bend” the truth a little bit. But what might start out feeling like a little lie can quickly become a web of deceit that we can’t untangle ourselves from. When we choose truth, however, we can find strength, peace, and freedom God wants us to enjoy.

- Week 2 (Week of July 14): Lies hurt others; truth helps others.
- Week 3 (Week of July 21): Lies trap you; truth sets you free.
