The most honest person that I can think of right now is my husband. I don't mean he never tells a lie or he does everything perfectly. Actually he is far from being perfect. I know, I live with him. But one character of my husband that I respect is his ability to admit his wrong and apologize. Sometimes, in my head I think, "Well, why don't you just do right at the first place." But which one of us can say that we never do wrong? We never lie, we never hurt someone, we never cheat, we never do wrong...not I. He is quick to realize he was wrong and quick to admit it. I think honesty is a character of a real man. A real integrity. Most of us prefer to say nothing, pretend and hope that we don't have to face the reality. We like to pretend that we are clean, pure and perfect. We hide behind a facade and live a life behind the wall of guilt and shame. Honesty is a virtue. Honesty is not clean as we think. It's very messy and dirty, requires lots of dirty work. Let's put our boots and gloves on and dig deeper into honesty and integrity until it becomes our character.
Day 4: Honesty and integrity: May integrity and honesty be my children's virtue and their protection. (Ps 25:21) Amen
