will suddenly fall.” - Proverbs 28:18 WHAT IS INTEGRITY? Integrity is doing the right thing even when it’s hard or when no one is looking. Many people only do what they are supposed to because they know that an authority figure is watching.
If someone is watching them, then they do what they
are supposed to only because they don’t want to get in trouble. That’s not sincere. It’s not in their heart to be honest because they are doing it out of fear of the consequences.
True integrity is abiding by the rules because you know
that it’s the right thing to do. How Do You Display Integrity? 1. Know the rules or laws. 2. Know what is expected of you and others so you know how to act. 3. Treat others how we want to be treated. If someone is bullying another person, then you know that they aren’t doing what they are supposed to. If you stand by and say nothing, then you are guilty by association. You let it happen without speaking up, which is basically the same as bullying yourself. Stand tall for yourself, as well as others, regardless of who is watching. WHY IS INTEGRITY IMPORTANT? Having integrity shows people what your heart is really like.
Do you do things for the approval of others, or do you do things
because you have a strong character? If you have a strong character, then people know that they can trust you.
Trust is a hard thing to earn, but by doing what’s right at all
times, you’ll have trust with everyone around you EXAMPLES OF INTEGRITY? 1. Keeping promises. 2. Keeping secrets. 3. Not letting someone else take the blame. 4. Not gossiping. 5. Doing the right thing without expecting a reward 6. Being polite even when someone is rude to you. 7. Always telling the truth. 8. Admitting you made a mistake. 9. Working hard at school or work.
