The godly walk with
integrity. In the godly there is
steadfast honesty. There is a commitment
to truthfulness. A person with integrity
seeks to always do what is right and good.
He is transparent and will not compromise what he knows to be true. The godly wear proudly the badge of integrity.
Blessed are the
children of those who live in integrity because they have an example worthy to
follow. Children imitate their
parents. They learn from their parents
how to behave in life. What they see is
deemed to be normal and acceptable behavior.
When children have godly parents they are truly blessed. They learn how to live life on a godly plane. They are taught the pathway to God where true
happiness and contentment is found. They
learn that life is more than the shallowness found in the world.
Walking with integrity
is no guarantee that one’s children will walk in their footsteps. Everyone must choose for themselves whom they
will serve. When parents walk with
integrity they give their children the opportunity to make choices that will
lead them into godliness. It makes a
child’s choices so much more difficult if he doesn’t have a godly example to
observe and follow. The greatest act of
love that a parent can give to his child is to love the Lord with all of his
heart, mind and soul. No one has to be
held a prisoner to his upbringing. Jesus
is always amongst men to show us that He is the way, truth and life. To God be the glory!
Praise the Lord for
His amazing grace that draws people to Him in spite of the example set before
them. Praise Him for those parents who
set a godly example for their children to follow.
There is no greater
gift that you can leave your children or grandchildren than the gift of a life
lived with godly integrity. Their lives
are truly blessed for they get to see firsthand faith that works. Are you walking with godly integrity before
your children? Are your children blessed
because of the life you live before them?
