Honesty as a shield

When you make a mistake or fail in some way do not cover it up or hide. Go to the others involved and be honest. Do not withhold information out of fear. I will use your  honesty and faith in Me as a shield. I protect those who are humble and trust Me. Just wait in faith and you will see. Be truthful and trust Me. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  Proverbs 28:13 Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
