Hmmmm- What we say can be a hint of what is going on but what we do tells the story. The truth being told is not affected by the hearer saying they believe or disagree. The hearer truly recognizing it does not affect it. Truth has the impact of getting us into reality.
Living in reality gives us the opportunity to be and see our better self. We develop standards for ourselves and the opportunity to have a foundation of reality to support a better world. Admitting wrong and correcting it outways denying wrong and devising work arounds that are like quicksand. You don’t just sink in soft sand but it can trap and pull you down beyond your strength to get out.
Integrity has multiple boundaries that can give us freedoms beyond our imagination and connect us to GOD who wants the best for our lives.
What does greatness look like?
