I was always taught if you wanted to be known as an honorable person than you must be a person of your word.
However, for me, I am most of the time. It is only the times I want my way that I become a person I don't recognize or want to be.
Yet, I know in those times there is someone greater living in me guiding in the ways of truth and love and the only requirement asked of me is I work with Him and allow myselfish ways fall to the wayside.
Easier said then done but I'm thankful I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
God Bless.
If you are wise and understand God's ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don't cover up the truth with boasting and lying. (NLT) -James 3:13-14
We all possess some degree of selfishness. The important thing is to acknowledge it and let others know of your intentions. People will be more understanding if you reveal it rather than hide it. If you feel strong enough to mirror God's ways, change your direction by giving time and money to those less fortunate than yourself. If you don't feel strong enough, ask God for the strength.
