Blessings For Those Who Walk With Integrity – By Iwalola (Lola) Ademodi

A biblical understanding of integrity requires consistency between one’s public and private life, it is refusing to cut corners even when no one is watching. It’s about aligning one’s character with God’s will, not just maintaining an outward image.

The moral uprightness of a person’s character acts as their guide, leading them on a straight path, while deception leads to ruin.
