What's the best way to handle the situation when a person lies to you? Do you call the person on the lie right away? Do you wait for a more opportune time and place? Do you ignore the lie? Do you plan to ignore the person in the future? Do you tell others that the person is a liar?
Perhaps it depends on the relationship you have with that person. When one of my elementary students told a lie, I addressed it by explaining why it was wrong to lie and the far-reaching negative consequences of a lie. After that, we could get to the truth. That usually worked, unless it was a student who would tell a lie and then deny, deny, deny.
Prayer helps.
Take care,
Sylvia
