There is so much compromise in this age and in one way or another, you might be tempted to compromise your character, in order to get something or something done for you which is vital. I came to let you know, no matter how dark and wicked the world is getting day after day, there is a remnant that is prospering, living a life of distinction by embracing a life style of integrity. Coming to think of it, character is the only thing that will sustain you in the long run where your gifts, fame, power will not.
So what is integrity? The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness
On this post, I will share the benefits of living a lifestyle of integrity and it’s my prayer, they will guide you through a life that honors God.
11 Benefits fueled by a lifestyle of integrity:-
1.You build positive, healthy relationships where people are more willing to work and relate with you.
2.You have confidence as an individual; you have nothing to hide because of your life style of honesty. There’s no real happiness to be found in struggling to remember your lies and living in fear of getting caught. Proverbs 10:9People with integrity walk safely,but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed.
3.Your life becomes more meaningful.
4.You become more valuable both as a person and as an achiever.
