We all know when we are conflicted about a situation. Or feel like we are compromising a bit of ourselves to please another person. It is important to remember that people of great integrity are the same inside and out. What you see is what you get.
We need to let our behavior, our word, and our conscience be in harmony and open before God. Conscience is that secret sanctuary where we are alone with God and we hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speak to us in the depths of our heart. To violate that conscience, that is, to go against what we know to be true, is to deny ourselves what is most important to our salvation.
A good conscience is the greatest good thing we can possess in this life. It gives us peace, serenity, and an assurance of our perseverance in good.
Lord, help me to be a person of great integrity—the same inside and out.
