Integrity. I just heard a wonderful description of integrity from someone I respect. Integrity, she said, is the gap between what you say and what you do. The smaller that gap, the greater the integrity of that person. The larger the gap, the less integrity.
I like that concept. It's addressing the divide we often find within ourselves between what we say we believe and how we conduct ourselves. To bring the two closer together is to live with an ever increasing integrity.
She got the concept, she says, from God. He is the Word. And what he says, he does.
I love that thought. Think I will chew on it for a while.
