I’ve never had anyone accuse me of being humble or having integrity. When I think of being humble, it’s one’s absence of pride.

I’ve made a little progress in that area, but still need to bind that pride spirit, which is always a threat.

Integrity is described as being of sound, moral principle, uprightness, honest and sincere. The lifestyle I lived for a while disqualified me as a man of integrity.

The good news is that I realize where I am, what I was and that I have a desire to become the man God created me to be.

I remember hearing a teaching years ago about leaving a legacy. We all want to leave our family with something positive by which to remember us.

The teaching ended by stating that the greatest legacy to leave is a legacy of integrity.

As I write this article, I’m taking a personal inventory of myself and being reminded that I’m a work in progress and God’s not finished with me yet.

My prayer is for me to continually seek God first in my life, be humble and make   progress in becoming a man of integrity.

I’m concerned that a person without humility is lacking in integrity and that leads to spiritual bankruptcy.
