You know how when someone is talking to you and they're working from behind a facade and you can sense the pretending? You know how you feel when they tell you things that you know for a fact are not true and they're trying to paint a different picture? Maybe they're embarrassed and so they won't get real about stuff. Maybe they're arrogant and won't face the truth about themselves or others or things in general. Maybe they're inviting you to their house for an evening and you know they're involved in a pyramid scheme and just want to get you on board with their efforts to make themselves some money. They come across like the salesperson that knocks on your door in the evening when you're tired from working all day and they force you to be rude because they just won't take no for an answer. They're not really talking to you, they're trying to make you do something.
I think God probably feels the same feelings a lot. Sometimes I think He's listening to us and thinking, "You know, just stop the talk and just tell me the truth." God isn't offended by our honesty, no matter how virulent. It's what He wants. So stop the pretending and tell the truth.
