Last night I was seated on my desk, trying to focus myself on the Macbook that was opened right in front of me as my heart did a back flip. God was leading me to write something for the one that He has prepared for me. It started with these words,
“To the man I’m gonna marry”
Let me tell you a sad story.
It wasn't really a thought-catcher since the first line was really heart breaking. It wasn't something so good to be feasted upon. It was literally a letter from a heart that was being honest. It was a letter made not with sugarcoated words but with truths that can either hurt him and even break him.
In our culture today, we tend to use fake masks just to please other people. We tend to show more of our strengths than our weaknesses. We even try to lie about some facts in our lives just to get people to like us... but with honesty and integrity comes great peace and favor that comes from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Integrity doesn't only apply in romantic relationships. Integrity applies in all aspects of our lives. It's better to make friends with no one than to be everyone's friend. Why? You're only creating an imagination of yourself. They believe in something that is nonexistence; a product of your own pretension. We need to be honest in everything. God sees everything in our hearts. He knows us. We don't want to keep on fooling ourselves and pretend to be someone we aren't, right?
The world is so cruel today, it teaches us to make a bombastic facade just to get accepted in society. But who says we need to fit in when we were really made to stand out?
Remember, the Lord has set you apart.
Let's pray that we would pursue integrity rather than trying to fool ourselves and those around us.
By God's grace, honesty will prevail.
