Day 16 - Be Pure

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).
