- When hard times come in life, you have a choice to make: either stay down or get back up; either make excuses, or accept where you’re at and start moving forward.
- Your past may influence you, but it does not have to control you.
- Joseph‘s family did not accept him, and even sold him into slavery, but the Bible says, “But the LORD was with Joseph.” Never forget that God is with you.
- You might be rejected by your family, but you are accepted by the Lord.
- God is sovereign, and He can take negative circumstances and turn out positive results.
- God can take your mess and make a miracle.
- Integrity is your trustworthiness; it is your character.
- If we are going to be men of integrity, it boils down to our walk with God.
- Integrity has to do with who you are in the inside no matter what is happening on the outside.
- You may feel like you’ve lost your integrity, but you can get it back.
-
- Moses lost his integrity when he killed an Egyptian, but God gave it back to him in the burning bush.
- David lost his integrity with Bathsheba, but he asked God to forgive him and got it back.
- Iron sharpens iron. You need a friend that will help and sharpen you.
- Learn to ask yourself what does God thinks, not what do others think.
- You can’t change what you messed up yesterday, but you could change how you live today.
- You cannot please everyone, but you can determine to please the right person, which is God.
