Completely bogged down by my own thoughts.
Burdened by the pain of constant worry.
Consumed with fear.
Overwhelmed with life and all I have to do alone.
This morning as I sat and prayed, two words kept coming to the surface: Integrity and Redemption.
I poured out my heart, pleaded with God, and still those two words kept coming forward. As I sat with my journal this morning, I prayed as I was opening it, and when I opened it the pages just fell open to the page on Integrity. Really God, today?
So I focused on integrity this morning and meditating over this simple verse
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely Proverbs 10:9
As I sat in the quiet and meditated upon this simple word, I was drawn to think of how our honesty speaks to who we are. Our words, our actions, our beliefs, all dictate who we are even our own thoughts. Honesty is what defines us.We must be honest with ourselves! We must review the intentions of our hearts in order to display the fruit of who we really are to others.
We are only fooling ourselves, God sees all of us, not just the outward stance we show to the world. As I prayed my heart was overwhelmed He knows all about you! He wants to free you from the burden you are carrying! Confess your sins to him - not just those you have committed but those committed against you. He will wash your heart clean! Follow Him and choose to walk out these days with integrity. This isn't easy for anyone to choose to do. Choosing to do the right thing in a situation is oh so hard! There is always things that could be lost. But no matter what the most important thing to do is not to forget our integrity is so important. We need to have this faith to be honest with ourselves and remember that without a doubt mistakes will be made. But God is always there to forgive and help us stay on the right path.

I know, my God that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things have I given willingly and with honest intent. 1 Chronicles 29:17

I love God's grace! We just have to humble ourselves before him, open our hearts and let him in.. so simple yet so many of us have a hard time doing it. Thank the Lord he's always there for us though!
