A LIFE OF INTEGRITY
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you live a life of honesty
You will experience God’s victory
Joyful are those who search for Christ
They turn away from evil in their lives.
Those who keep their hearts pure
Do not easily cave in to the devil’s lure
A life of integrity is what God wants for you
Never compromise and let your mind be renewed.
________________________________________
There were many decades of my life that I compromised my relationship with God. I chose my will over his. I lived chasing my own dreams and set him aside. I prioritized my plans and schemes and never consulted him. I wasn’t honest and brave enough to face the consequences of my wrong choices which eventually led to more sins. I did things that wasn’t becoming of a child of God. I thank God that we have a very understanding and merciful father. The bible tells us that when we truly love the Lord, we will search for him and his word. We will choose to do what his word says for our own sake and for him to be able to fulfill his will in our own lives. When we walk in love, we receive joy.

Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts. They do not compromise with evil and they walk only in his paths.
– Psalm 119:2-3 (NLT)
UNCOMPROMISED LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Joyful are those who obey the Lord
They will never stop giving him applaud
Their lives reflect only God’s faithfulness
They don’t compromise with evil but choose righteousness.
When evil tempts them, they are unwavering
When challenges arise, they keep on hoping
They walk on the road that God prepared for them
They look forward to the promise that they will be redeemed.
Do you ever compromise with evil? Many people do. Sometimes they don’t even realize it. What does a compromised life look like? Are you depressed, negative, moody, angry, lazy, irresponsible, dishonest or fearful? These are only some of the symptoms of a life that is compromised.
The bible says that those who are true believers of Christ have joyful hearts and are obedient to God. They do not negotiate with the devil. They don’t have anything to do with evil ways. Pleasing the Lord is their business. They will press on when there are obstacles presented and look forward to the promises that God gave them.
PRAYER
Lord, guard me from evil.
REFLECTION
What parts of your life are still compromised? Have you asked God to break it?
