Why Is It So Important To Need Integrity?
Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.
I pray to God, that He blesses you with wisdom and keeps you firmly on the right path. In a world where honesty can sometimes seem like a daunting challenge, it is crucial to prioritize integrity in every decision we make. Ask yourself: will you resort to cheating on a test at school? Will you be tempted to falsify your income tax papers? Will you consider lying to your loved ones? Or perhaps even contemplate taking something that does not belong to you? These dilemmas all revolve around one fundamental aspect of our character – our integrity.
I vividly recall a heartwarming memory from my childhood when my dad discovered a penny on the carpet in church. Without thinking much about it, he immediately picked it up and placed it in his pocket. However, the following day, he was overcome with remorse for his actions and felt convicted that taking that small coin was unjustifiable. And so, the next Sunday arrived, and my dad humbly returned the penny back to its rightful place. I realize that this was a very small example, yet it wasn’t about the monetary value; instead, it emphasized an essential principle: never compromising one’s integrity by making poor choices or succumbing to temptation. My father’s act served as an invaluable visual lesson for me – a constant reminder of what distinguishes right from wrong and how vital integrity truly is in shaping our character as individuals who strive for goodness in this complex world we live. We all need integrity now more than ever – let us remain steadfast on this journey. My dad set a good visual example for me that day that has been a good reminder of right and wrong and what integrity is. ~ Bill Greguska

What Ways Do You Compromise Your Integrity?
Learn how to develop integrity. Being honest and having integrity is doing the right things for the right reasons, no matter what it takes. If you struggle to be in God’s will, God allows U-turns and offers grace to those who seek to do His will, not their own. Your integrity reflects who you are. Honesty and integrity are both choices to do the right thing even though it is hard to do, or when others are doing their own thing and whatever feels right to them!
Integrity is doing the right things for the right reasons. Honesty does not come naturally, and it has to be practiced. We all get tempted, but honesty and integrity are essential for healthy living. These two qualities have been a welcomed part of my life since I quit using drugs and alcohol in 1986. Without honesty and integrity, I believe overcoming any addiction is impossible.
