Desirable Diplomacy
“He who hates, disguises it with his lips, And lays up deceit within himself;” Proverbs 26:24 NKJV http://bible.com/114/pro.26.24.nkjv Lying lips and deceitful hearts communicate clearly with understanding. Even when the scriptures say no one is able to unravel the deceit and wickedness in his own heart, the demand for courtesy and diplomacy in public relations appears to offer the necessary litmus test for the possible reality of hatred in the heart. Closed lips can cleverly bottle-up hatred and consciously disguise a wicked heart as a disposition of winsome humility. However, a sincere soul cannot deceive himself, even when his lips disguised hatred with a desirable diplomacy. Therefore, the clarity in the communication between a lying lip and a deceitful heart confirms the candidacy of hell for any unrepentant soul.
