12 qualities demonstrating someone’s integrity:

Integrity means that if our private life was suddenly exposed, we wouldn’t have any reason to be ashamed or embarrassed. It means that our outward life is consistent with our inner convictions and values. Integrity is a very valuable skill because it allows others to trust you, learn from you, and respect you.
We should all strive to walk in integrity with one another. Even if no one is looking or caring, we should always do the right thing. Because one thing is sure, God is always watching.
So, what is your level of integrity? Where can you make a change or improve?
If you want to increase your integrity, I have a secret. Read one Proverb a day, there are 31 of them. Repeat each month. Even if they might not make much sense when you read, believe me, they will come to your remembrance when you encounter a challenge or a temptation. I have experienced this many, many times.
Renew your mind with these truths from the Word of God:
Prov. 1:2-3
Prov. 10:9
Psalm 101:1-3
