Are You the Same Person When No-one is Watching?

I remember someone once asking me about the things that are important to me. I know it's a random kind of question, but I definitely think it's valid. What would your answer be? What things are important to you? I didn't hesitate and responded, "Integrity is important to me." They were taken back by my response. To me integrity is doing the right thing, whether people are watching you or whether you're alone. It's easy to do the right thing when others are watching you, but when you're alone and no-one else can see what you're doing, sometimes it's a little tougher to do the right thing. To me integrity is a non-negotiable. We all know how awkward it can be dealing with a person who doesn't have integrity? As Christians I believe integrity must be a priority, especially when the world sees us as hypocrites. Moral soundness and Christ-like character must be obvious in our lives as Christians and can definitely be attractive to a world full of deception and dishonesty. Do people see you as a person of integrity? Today we'll all have an opportunity to allow this quality to shine wherever we go :)

  1. I think part of the motivation to live with integrity is based on a belief that we will answer to a God who sees and knows everything. If I live to please Him, I won't be double-minded or put on a show.
