his integrity

(I included an excerpt of Stormie Omartian's chapter (called 'his integrity') here:


Why "his integrity"? Because 'The righteous man walks in integrity; his children are blessed after him.' - Prov. 20:7. Well i sure would love to have blessed children because of a husband who is a man of integrity. 


"Integrity is not what you appear to be when all eyes are on you. It's who you are when no one is looking. It's a level of morality below which you never fall. no matter what's happening around you. It's a high standard of honesty, truthfulness, decency, and honor that is never breached. It's doing for others the way you would want them to do for you.

A man of integrity says something and means it. He doesn't play verbal games so you never really know where he stands. He knows to let his "yes" be "yes" and his "no" be "no." "For whatever is more than these is from the evil one" (Matthew 5:37). He will not play both sides of the fence to please everyone. His goal is to please God and do what is right. A man can be highly esteemed among men but an abomination to God (Luke 16:15)". 

Sweet!
