Integrity ~ What does it mean to have integrity?

Integrity is being the same in our heart, in our minds, and in our actions.

Integrity is "the quality or coniditon of being whole or undivided; completeness. Integrity comes from the word 'integer', which means, 'whole or complete.' It is the opposite of hypocrisy." ~McArthur The Power of Integrity: Building a Life Without Compromise

Integrity in it's simplest terms is keeping promises. The person of integrity is one who when he/she says something, can be trusted. When he/she gives their word, you can count on it." ~McCartney What Makes a Man: Promises That Will Change Your Life

Integrity is both inward and outward. Inward - Integrity beings from with and is based on holiness and sincerity. Outward - Integrity includes our behavior which is to be blameless.

"The Christian life is to be an uninterrupted continuity between all beliefs and practices and relationships. It is to be an integrated life as opposed to a segregrated life." ~ Leith Anderson, Winning the Values War in a Changing Culture

If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others... We never realize at the time what God is putting us through— we go through it more or less without understanding. Then suddenly we come to a place of enlightenment, and realize— "God has strengthened me and I didn’t even know it!"

INTEGRITY! I know from experience that even when I've felt I've been standing alone, I've been in the palm of HIS hands the entire time!

Just as your mom said, "Stand for what is right, even if you are standing alone!"
