Choose Integrity; Reflect the Joy of Jesus!



                Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Joy in the Lord makes us spiritually whole. 

                The Oxford Dictionary defines “integrity” as “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.” If we read further, the 2nd definition of integrity gives us even deeper insight: “the state of being whole and undivided.” I like this definition because I believe that’s what God intends in the life of a Christian. 

1 Chronicles 29:17 tells us:  
 “I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity.”

            According to David Jeremiah, “to have integrity is to feel ‘whole’ and complete, to have all parts of your life integrated; to have them intact, interconnected, uncorrupted, and operating as a single unit. A person of integrity has it so deeply woven into his character that it’s integrated into his innermost being as a consistent standard from which all his actions flow. Such a person amazes us. Such a person is who we want to be.”

                Don’t you desire to be that person of integrity?  Be a person of your word.  Don’t stretch the truth to make it fit your situation.  Stand strong for what you believe and do not waver.  In other words, if you are a Christian, you should “walk the Walk” that Jesus modeled before us.

                Choose integrity and always reflect the joy of Jesus!
