Kids to a certain age (5-6) don't know anything but truth, and then somewhere along the way they decide they need to protect themselves from getting in trouble and they try their hand at not telling the truth.
The funny thing is, you can tell when they aren't telling the truth. Ever notice that people exhibit specific "signs" when they aren't telling the whole truth? Yea, my kids used to ask me how I KNEW!
It was actually it was because they gave clear signals.
The same is true of us. We give clear signals when we are withholding information. Often we don't lie, we just don't tell everything we know.
I think Jesus told everything. with a smile on his face. always pointing us back to the Father. not concerned about how he looked or what people thought of Him. It was always about God's love.
The truth.
