A Person Of Integrity
Integrity is one of the most valued character qualities a person can have. A person of integrity has strong moral and ethical principles. They are honest regardless of their circumstances, or the company they keep. What you see on the outside is the same person they are on the inside. People of integrity keep their word even when it is not convenient. They are honest in all their dealings, personal as well as professional. They practice morality in their sexual life, both in mind and body. They are not perfect. They make mistakes and occasionally sin, but they do not cover up their faults. They confess them, and deal with any consequences.
Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. (Proverbs 13:6 NIV)
Integrity is not a character quality any of us would claim to have when we lived in addiction. It’s also not something that automatically appears when we come into recovery. However, integrity can and will be developed in a person who lives according to the Word of God and whose confidence is in God alone.
I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me. Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever. (Psalm 41:11-12 NIV)
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. (Proverbs 10:9 NIV)
If our activities, thoughts, and desires were exposed today, would we be considered a person of integrity?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, My desire is to love and care for others as You have faithfully loved and cared for me. As I walk in Your ways, help me to become a person of integrity. Amen
