little white liar

Genesis 20:11-12
Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife. 12 "Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife;”

I, unfortunately, identify with this verse. Abraham is caught in a lie. When confronted he tries to justify his lie. He says, “well it wasn’t REALLY a lie because technically she is kind of my sister (weird).:" I find myself sometimes jumping through truth hoops also. I will think, “I can phrase this in such a way that it isn’t completely false.” I can tend to be a little white liar like Abraham. If I was always completely honest then there would not be a need to tell half-truths. God- help me be completely truthful.
