Here is Rick Warren's:
- I am what I am.
- I am what you see.
- What you see is what you get.
- It is NOT perfection or perfect honesty.
- Base word is integer. Integer means "a complete entity or a whole number". Integrity is the whole picture of who you are. Togetherness of person.
- As a result, Warren suggests that if you have integrity, your life cannot be compartmentalized. You cannot live in integrity and have your:
- Personal compartment
- Public compartment
- Wife compartment
- Anger compartment
- Friend compartment
- Pornographic compartment
- Educational compartment
- Spiritual compartment
- Greedy compartment
- Instead, your life is together as the WHOLE of who you are!
- Finally, it is REALLY being who you REALLY are!
Wow!! That is a powerful way of thinking of integrity.

I'd like to hear more on this thinking. MOM
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very familiar to me. Back in my BC days I had a party self, a school self, a good son self, etc. I only ever lived as a fraction of a person, never a whole. My first prayer as a new believer was for the Lord to bring all those together and make me whole. Now if I'd just get out of His way a let Him finish it....
ReplyDeleteThanks for engaging with this in a personal way. I love what you wrote. I feel the same way, man! I am thankful that He who began a good work.....
