God@Work - Integrity

Integrity is when your actions match your words, when you behave consistently and are the same person at work, at church and in the workplace.

How many times has your spouse or loved ones said to you "Why can't you be with me like you are with the people at work ...... Why can't you treat me like you treat your work colleagues........... You're such a nice guy at work ....."

In times like these we lack integrity in the eyes of those most important to us.

Take time to take stock of your own integrity.

Some helpful tips on how to do this:

1. Scripture: align your life, your behaviour and your thinking with God's word.

2. Reason: talk about it with someone who knows you well and who you trust. Ask them if they see inconsistencies.

3. Conscience: "that kind of silent clamour of truth ringing inside". Become aware of the guiding of the Holy Spirit. Pray about it.

4. Consequences: Think about the effects of your integrity or lack thereof on others. 

By becoming aware of and aligning these four aspects you will build greater integrity.
