Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible – and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
-Ephesians 5:11-14
This is a verse that I have experienced full force. No one gets away with any sin no matter how large or how small. Your sin will always find you out. It might be found out right away or could take months to be exposed by the light, but in the end it is always illuminated. I've learned countless times this year the importance of honesty and being true. Those are two qualities that cannot be compromised. You must always tell the truth even if it is a painful one because lying to someone to protect them is still lying and it is wrong. Later you will realize, "what am I protecting them from?" It hurts more to find out someone lied. Give them the truth, be there for them if it hurts.
