How much is it worth?
Standing in the bus, I pulled out 50 cents to pay the youth rate for my bus ride. Even at 20, I was able to pass as a youth, but as I sat down, the Lord challenged me with a question. How much is your integrity worth? At that moment, I realized that I had just sold my integrity for $1.00.
How many times since then have I been challenged with that same question... What about $4? Standing at the ticket stand, student ID in hand... no longer a student... The temptation is real, and the $4 is easily saved... But is my integrity worth more than that?
Is your integrity worth more than a day's wage? cough cough... I am feeling a little sick...
Is your integrity worth more than a good grade? I mean, they have to know that everyone cheats on take home tests anyway...
What other areas in life does your integrity get tested? Are you willing to sell it for a price? Or trade it in?
The question has haunted me ever since that moment on the bus. The moment that I made the wrong choice. I realized then that my integrity was worth far more than that. Integrity is priceless.
