--------- Belonging is a fundamental human quest. If you lack integrity, you lack depth of belonging, whether others know it or not. I see this all the time with my clients. Some have all the success in the world, and a beautiful family. They are the picture of success. But without integrity, life teeters on the brink of ruin and they must desperately try to recover it all. Quotes"I believe that the main work of the Holy Spirit is to search your heart and life, bringing destructive patterns into your awareness that hinder your God-given potential. Conviction is a product of love. Trusting God by giving Him control is what is necessary in order to change. The mission of the Holy Spirit is to set you free and to reduce the enemy's influence in your life. The most powerful and successful changes come from participating with what He is bringing into your conscious awareness." Michael Dye, The Genesis Process "Discipline turns intentions into action. Discipline means no procrastination. Discipline means now. Choose the pain of discipline, not the pain of regret. An undisciplined moment seems harmless, but they add up to disaster. Without discipline, the tiny things will be your downfall." Derek Sivers, How to Live QuestionsHow have I fallen short? What do I need to turn from? What have I been avoiding? Am I willing to fully surrender to God? Will I choose to entrust the outcomes and all that is out of my control to Him? What is the simplest way to grow in integrity today? What is a small disciplined step forward I can take? (Use these questions as a journal prompt and to guide your prayers this week) EndnoteGet honest today. Build the foundation of personal integrity and watch what God will do. Live wisely, Josh
