I am convinced that moral integrity requires us, not only to confront the damage our sinful choices have produced, but to go a step farther. Now we must do everything within our power to right those wrongs, to heal those hurts, and to restore those relationships. I agree with Pastor Keith Boyer who says, “Integrity is doing the right thing after you have done the wrong thing even when it is the hardest thing.”
“Look, Lord! …if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house…”
— Luke 19:8-9 (NIV 1984)
Lord Jesus, help us to identify the wrongs we have done. Show us the damage we have caused and how we can make things right. Give us the grace to act in love and with integrity. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
