Happy Saturday! This week I was faced with a few situations that highlighted the importance of integrity, truth, and decisions. These situations broadened my perspective in the importance of just having integrity and how integrity is a choice.
Which brings me to how I even got here in writing this post. I was sleep and heard the word "integral". I then knew it was going to be what I wrote about today. To be integral means necessary to make whole or complete. It means essential or fundamental. This is profound as this is a characteristic I pray for to be constantly added to my life and those close to or attached to me.
When I think about the heart I desire to have and work on daily I want it to be more than just a kind, loving, thoughtful, compassionate heart. I want a heart that is integral, pure, honest ace true as well. That can sometimes be challenging with all of the "enticing" things that are presented before us. It may be hard to resist things that in the long run will not serve us purpose simply because it looks good in the moment. We have a choice. A choice to be a woman or man of our word. We have a choice to be genuine and honest. We have a choice to go high when people go low. We have a choice.
God blesses integrity. Proverbs 20:7 says this
The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him! This means that when you choose to be integral in all that you do you will be blessed and those attached to you will be blessed too.
My prayer today is that our hearts will be integral. That we will choose to walk righteously. My prayer is that in moments where we're tempted to do the opposite of what's right we choose to do right regardless of how we feel. I pray we always remember that God blesses our integral hearts.
With love,
-Yours Truly, Eb
