A Character of Honesty

"An honest life shows respect for God."
Proverbs 14:2a MSG

Whether we are 12 or 100, working or retired, in shape or out of shape, angry or dreamy, wounded or whole... a character of honesty is always a welcomed guest and is treated with all due respect.

So what is it to have a character of honesty?

What does he or she look like who is honest?

What difference does honesty make in the scheme of things?

Honesty is defined as, the quality or fact of being honest; uprightness and fairness; truthfulness, sincerity, or frankness; and freedom from deceit or fraud.

Honesty reflects a character of love, beauty, warmth, strength, forgiveness, steadiness, excellence, compassion, thoughtfulness, richness, and genuineness.

Honesty doesn't ignore unhappiness, dissatisfaction, anger, frustration, stubbornness, depression and hopelessness.

The most dignified manner of living a good, respectful, respectable life is by having a character of honesty.

It is the smiling, confident, calm face in the eye of a storm.

A character of honesty stands for what we stand for and what we stand for should stand for something.

When life is conducted properly, our steadiness and resolve make us unstoppable.

We will set goals.

We will act.

We will adjust.

We will not back down or turn back.

We will feel free able to embrace the journey that God is leading us in!
