(hebrews 13:18) gives us advice. u can read and find out. i bring out 4 main areas of life in which we may oat times find it a special challenge to be HONEST.
(1) HONEST WITH OURSELVES. our first challenge is to learn to be honest with our selves. its very easy for us as imperfect human to succumb to self-deception.
(2) HONEST IN THE FAMILY. honest should be a hallmark of the christian family. husband and wife should be open to each other. there is no room in a christian marriage for such hurtful, unclean practices as flirting with those outside the marriage, cultivating clandestine relationships via the internet. doing so is dishonest (psalm 26:4) if u are married never engage in conduct that might tempt you to hide what you are from your mate.
(3) HONEST IN THE CHURCH. association with other believers affords us many opportunities to develop honest. casual talk can so easily turn into harmful gossip, even slander. some people excuse rudeness by calling it HONEST. but our word should always be gracious and kind.(Colossians 4:6).
(4) HONEST IN THE SECULAR WORLD. daily we may face temptations to be dishonest. things around us can make us to be dishonest at school at work at office and at home. when people fill out forms to get what they need its hard to fill the truth about what we are. what makes honest a challenge at times is that those who do engage in such dishonest ways seem to succeed and even get ahead in todays world. (psalm 73:1-8). always speak truth and let our actions be modest and finally let our reputations never go unnoticed by our GOD. thanks every one for reading hope we learn some thing from it. thanks.

true, being honest is good, but also set limits. Be safe and know when to reveal personal things. How much do we know about those who ask us about us? I find being honest about my being not wealthy chases lots of guys away which saves them the trouble of writing if that is what they want. So I am they say too honest. I say right up front what I offer, and sometimes our greatest asset is us, our love, our friendship, our listening ear, no matter how much we may have in the bank....

Some restrictions of income are there for people outside the USA coming to see or marry a USA person, and I have had heartache about that before, so no matter how great the guy is, I tell him I am not of a high income so he may choose someone who meets the income guidelines, though he may be very nice and it is not his fault what regulations say... that is what I meant.

sometimes being honest is realizing that one can be very lonely even with a date, even with someone who says they care, if they are not the right person, no amount of time can make it right. Being honest with who we are and what we want in life and wish to be treated by someone.

our life style and our associations with others will be molded and can have a positive impact with others if we apply HONEST and live by it. though many will not agree with u or will like to intimidate u prove ur self what u are and with time they will start to trust u believe u and respect ur opinion.
