PEOPLE LIE

People lie because they have to sometimes to get by. 
People lie because they are told they have no choice, that they will suffer a loss that will hurt. 
People lie to move ahead, to get more money and live a life of comfort and elegance. 
People lie, like in the Garden of Eden, the woman ate the apple and served it to her husband, later she realized that she had been lured by a lie. 
People lie for many reasons, some known and some unknown, some get away with the lies. 
Let's pray for all to be brave and to choose truth over lies, to walk the path of light and love, and to choose life and love above all. 
God tells us that in the end all is seen and brought to light, and that justice will prevail. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
