But when we pursue the Lord, we find freedom from lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humans lie, but following Jesus helps us discover the truth about ourselves and others. One thing remains the same, everyone sins and needs forgiveness. Christ gives us freedom when we lay our sins on the cross and accept His gift.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1-300x39.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lord, forgive us for telling and believing lies.
