How real are you?
One day something is going to happen that you will not be planning. You won’t know when it’s going to happen, and it will most likely catch you off guard. You’re going to die.
One day something is going to happen that you will not be planning. You won’t know when it’s going to happen, and it will most likely catch you off guard. You’re going to die.
We don’t wake up one morning and say, “Gee I think I am going to die today, so let me get prepared.” When this does happen–your death–your family will be going through all of your things. Your wife, your kids, maybe even some of your friends who are trying to help your wife cope with your death. They are going to go through your wallet, your cell phone, your bank accounts, all the files in your office or your “space” and your computer. They will see all your files, where you visited on the internet and EVERYTHING.
The questions is, what will they find? Will they see that you were a man that walked his talk? Or will they find things that will make you look like a hypocrite? It is said that integrity is how you act when no one is looking; of course we all know God is always watching. But one day your whole family will know if you were real.
What they find will leave a lasting impression on your wife, children and grandchildren. Do you want your children to say “I know my dad was real, he left me proof”?

How real?
There is a challenge in this age of automated advertising. My email inbox keeps filling with junk that I cannot relate to where I have been. One of these regular junk items is for a dating service. I'm working to get it removed for the reason you mentioned as well as for it taking up pointless space. Thanks for your encouraging and challenging words.

Real action
doing something good when no one is around you yet whole heartedly doing it for a good purpose without knowing that there is someone special that will give you the reward but for the sake of doing it you've done it out of love..that's what we called integrity we don't even know who are those person living on earth with this attitude because we ourselves should know that if how real we are when no one sees us..when no one watch us but God alone. and only God the almighty one sees us and surely He wil reward our goodness.Thats how we walk with God's grace.
