Integrity
is a corrective force that keeps us on track when life seems to be lurching out
of control. Accepting Christ as one's personal Savior gives strength to
integrity as nothing else can. Christians are imperfect and subject to sin, so
our integrity can be damaged when wrong-doing is justified to protect oneself
from embarrassment or shame.
Someone said: "I don't understand
what's happening to me. Instead of telling the truth, I find myself lying about
everything, even small, insignificant matters of no consequence." Misrepresentations
of truth result in erosion of integrity. Some Christians choose this behavioral
pattern knowing it damages their integrity and self-worth.
Permitting
your integrity to erode invites despair. God's plan for anyone who feels
enslaved by this condition includes confession, repentance, and re-commitment of
your life to Christ. Choosing God's way insures positive change, so decide now to
anchor your life where there is forgiveness, a new beginning, and God's purpose
for living.
