There is much going on around us in God’s world. We see much of it on social media and television. We can let these things influence in a way that we act in anger and speak in such a way that the anger, fear, and hate spread or we can remember who our God is. We can and must make the choice to act with integrity in the face of hate, racism, fear, anger, greed, and lies. There are those in this world that yes want to destroy for their own gain. We have the choice. We are given the ability to choose. Will we choose to follow Jesus, the way, the truth, and the life? Will we choose love, peace, kindness, gentleness, and self control over fear, racism, and hate? We are the bride of Christ let no man put asunder. We are the sons and daughters of God the Father will we heed His WORDS OF TRUTH?
Proverbs 22:11 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold.
Proverbs 25:26 A righteous man who falters before the wicked is like a murky spring and a polluted well.
1 Peter 2:11-12 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW.
No one can take our integrity; only we make that choice.
Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
