Unable to Deceive

I was reading through Hebrews in the Passion Translation recently.  I read in Hebrews 7:26 that Jesus, our perfect high priest is “without the ability to deceive”.

I love that limitation that God puts on himself!  

But what does that look like for God to be without the ability to deceive?

Father God, you are by choice not able to deceive, the exact opposite of the evil one who is called the ‘father of lies’.

You are not in the habit of “bait and switch”.

You have no hidden agenda.

You are fully open and uncovered, nothing hidden.

You are accessible.

You are safe. Oh, not for everyone, but for anyone who calls you Daddy.

It’s not in your ability to deceive me.

You’re the only wonderful thing in this life that isn’t too good to be true. Instead, just when you think it can’t get any better than this, it does get better.  You reveal another facet of your love, your kindness, your goodness.  I can't help but love you!
