       The words we speak out of our mouths are very important to God. Indeed, he is going to judge us each individually for the things we have said. Saying wrong things about God or things that tear down others will cost us reward and make life less enjoyable in the here and now. The Apostle Paul told the Colossians: “Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator” (Colossians 3:9-10, ESV). Nothing will hurt our relationships more than lying. Lying is like shooting a cannon at a building. When we lie to a loved one, a friend, we undercut the relationship and make it difficult for the person to trust us. Even small lies can undercut a growing relationship. It is easy to get caught in small lies, and a lot of people typically have the ability to perceive when people are lying. Your mouth may be saying one thing, while your face is telling a different story.
