Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. (Matthew 5:8)
Integrity. Purity of Heart. These should be the trademarks of anyone calling themself a Christian. A person of integrity does the right thing, even when no one is looking. Here's the deal, I know. God knows.
I love that Jess Bousa points out that a person of integrity has the most accountability. I believe what may be lacking in many christians is accountability. I have learned recently how the lack of accountability caused me to make some stupid mistakes in my past. I didn't have that person or persons to bounce ideas and discussions with. I was left to my own device. Let's just say, that didn't go so well.
Now, I have a network of accountability to help me with where I'm at personally and with any ministry involvement I might have. I feel more comfortable and free to be about God's business. It's almost as if there's a safety net to catch me.
God is daring me to be a person of integrity. I prayerfully resolve to strive for purity in all areas of life so that I might walk it out full of integrity. Bringing Him glory and honor.
(Just a note, sorry that my blogs have not been consistent. I am striving to be more consistent).
