This is one thing i learnt from reading this book for this week:
"The climb of your life."
It talks about how climbing ~literally climbing mountain, is like our climb for God in our lifes as well...making relations and drawing verses to bring to light in relation to our walk with God...Truely His words speaks to me..still reading on it...but reading on this part of "Integrity" just blew my mind...
"Climbing is,above all, a matter of integrity." ~Gastoon Rebufat
Just thinking on this point....having the integrity to be absolute honest in all our doings and yet kind in our dealings with people..requires that leading and closeness with the vine....apart from the vine...branches are dead...as honest as dead branches can be...it is dead...so connection is so important....connection with u lord...our only true vine...with integrity... Integrity involves more than being honest...more than telling the truth...more than keeping promises...it is also being honest about who we are..a person of integrity? humbling thought.
misrepresenting ourselves is something that is so wrong and i guess through the story of ananias and sapphira in acts 5:1-11 reminded me that God sees the importance of integrity as much as men sees...such seriousness that they both fell dead immediately after lying not just to men only,but to the Spirit of God...
humbling thought again.

Most importantly..God sees the depth of my heart..still loves us the same.This blew everything else away...Grace. Often taken for granted... shame on us. Rather shame on me.
Help me Lord...
For apart from you, there is no integrity..

"God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his son Jesus Christ our Lord."~1Cor 1:9Indeed, you are so faithful.
