Would I kiss a girl for a million dollars? Most people wouldn’t hesitate to say yes. But I guess I’m just not like most people. My answer was immediately NO! But some were sure I would reconsider or at least have some form of hesitation with the cohersion that followed and “if it was sitting right here in front of you” bologna. Surely 10 million dollars would change my mind….
Seriously People!?!?! I didn’t realize how readily and willing people are willing to give up their self-respect for money. Call me naïve but I guess I just have a little more faith in people. But unfortunately I have more faith in them then they do for themselves. I am not perfect by any means, in fact I’m far from it and constantly struggle in deciphering between right and wrong in my daily decisions every day. But I know one thing for sure…My integrity, my values, my virtue and self-worth are all qualities and gifts from my gracious Father in heaven. He instilled in all of us these things because He loves us and because they are vital in our journey to return to live with him in complete peace and happiness. My integrity and values are simply not for sale. They are mine…gifts from God that I treasure dearly. Gifts from God that represent His love for me. God’s love holds limitless value in my life and it is my duty as a wife, mother, and daughter of God to hold these things close to my heart and share them with those around me. These very things are the very makeup of my soul. Priceless treasures that I simply will not sell. For my soul is not for sale.
“God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me” Job 27:5
I pray that I will remain faithful to my convictions. I pray that money will never be a motivating factor that causes me to make a decision I clearly know is wrong and not of God. He is my strength, He is my joy, and He is my peace. He’s my lifeline and I live by His words For Time and All Eternity.
