Deal with it: Honesty
Honesty, what is honesty? Honesty is something really great you share with your friends, family, and God.
When you share it with your friends, you might find yourself telling just a little lie or maybe a big one if you are not honest. I think that if we did not have honesty we would not be anywhere in this world, especially if we are not honest to those who are closest to us. People would be fighting, stealing and lieing all the time. For example, one time one of my friends asked me if I had one of his really valuable baseball cards. I said no, even though I did. The next day I felt so bad, I was about to tell him when I heard him telling some other people that I was his best friend. That hit the spot. I just went over to him and gave him his card back. He said, " I thought you didn't have it." When I was honest about what I had done, he said it was ok. That is how I learned the value of honesty.
Now if you lie to a family member, they usually say, "I forgive you", but down deep inside it might hit them really hard that you lied to them. They won't know if you can be trusted or not. They might start calling a different babysitter, or not talk to you, maybe even ignore you, that is why we need honesty.
Finally, let's talk about God. When you lie to God people say that you just made the biggest mistake of your life, but you can always ask forgiveness. You just made a mistake. God always forgives when we are truly sorry and ask His forgiveness and then turn away from what we did wrong. Also, He will always love you no matter what.

Yes Jesus Loves Me!
Jesus loves me this I know
For the bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
Most of you know that song. Many of you know it by heart. But you know, it really is true. Jesus really does love you. He loves you so much that he died for you. He died for you so that you may live an eternal life with him in heaven. Just stop and think about it for a second. He died on the cross for you! That right there just shows you how much he loves you. He loves you so much that he would come to this earth, be mocked and beaten, and then died! In Matthew 27 we are given an example of what I am talking about it says this:
“27 some of the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into their headquarters and called out to the entire battalion. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 They made a crown of long, sharp thorns and put it on his head, and they placed a stick in his right hand as a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mockery, yelling “Hail! King of the Jews!” 30 And they spat on him and grabbed the stick and beat him in the head with it. 31 When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.”
Just look at those verses. Look at all that he went through for us. He was stripped; they placed a crown of long, sharp thorns and put it on his head. They made fun of him, they spat on him, and they beat him on the head with a stick, and he still had the crown of thorns on, so the thorns were driven into his head. Then they led him off to his death. And he did all of that for you and me. Jesus really does love us. He took our place on the cross. He died for our sins. He loves us, he really does.
*Matt
