- reputation is what you think of me;
- character is who I am when no one is around;
- integrity is when my reputation and character match.
See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me! Guard my life and rescue me; let me knot be put to shame, for I take refuge in You. May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in You. ~ Psalms 25:19-21
A woman who does not establish her character in God's wisdom is double-minded and therefore, unstable, unpredictable and untrustworthy in her actions. She lacks godly integrity.
If any of you lacks wisdom, (she) should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to (her). But when (she) asks, (she) must believe and not doubt, because (she) who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That (woman) should not think (she) will receive anything from the Lord, (she) is a double-minded (woman) unstable in all (she) does. ~ James 1:5-7
A woman of godly integrity believes and does not doubt the wisdom that God has bestowed upon her through His Word and the Holy Spirit. Her character, her actions, her reputation are in step with His wisdom without regard to the ways of the world. She is in complete synchronicity with the Almighty.
