Integrity – ‘an unimpaired condition’. To be SOUND.
Sadly, we rarely find this in today’s world. Politicians, churches, banks, financial advisors etc.
The pursuit of ‘status’ money, personal recognition all can be attained at the sacrifice of integrity.
This weekend my thought is this:
What is your personal ‘integrity’? What do you stand for? What do people expect from you when they hear your name. This is personal not from the organisation, place or family situation. This is about
YOU.
My challenge came when I chose ‘Passionate Creative Christian’ as my blog name.
This is an example of ‘out there’ accountability.
It is a definition of WHO I CLAIM TO BE. My ‘integrity’ is exposed.
I am constantly making mistakes. I certainly am a flawed and often ‘messed’ human being but I must flow in what is my learned Truth. I know the power of Confession and Forgiveness. In my life I must be accountable to ONE Person.
He is the Shepherd Lord of my life.
Not to leaders of nations or even Church but ultimately to HIM.
BUT,
I write, I live, I mess up (often) I grieve, I laugh
BUT I must always KNOW my place of Integrity.
SOMETHING TO THING ABOUT.
What is your Personal Highway? It surely won’t be the same as mine.
What is the one quality expected when someone thinks of you?
Is INTEGRITY your highest human aspiration?
Take some moments to be ‘revived’ and ‘refreshed’ this weekend.
Be passionate, honest but LIVE! – REALLY LIVE!
I would like to live by, “let my “yes” be “yes” and my “no” “no”. Not swaying back and forth like a storm tossed wave. Yes, I make mistakes daily, but through His love, mercy and grace, I know I am loved and forgiven. When I do error, asking for forgiveness, and thanking Jesus for His casting my sin as far as east is from west! Grace:) Firm foundation in Him Who loves me:)
