People can be complicated. Relationships are messy. And in a world where clapping back is almost expected, choosing to respond with grace can feel weak or naïve.
Integrity in relationships means doing what’s right, even when it’s not easy, fair, or reciprocated. It’s apologizing first, even if the other person never does. It’s choosing forgiveness, even when bitterness feels easier. It’s speaking the hard truth gently instead of gossiping behind someone’s back.
That kind of integrity stands out. It disarms people. And over time, it builds trust and opens doors for healing.
Is there a relationship where you’ve been reacting instead of responding with grace? What would integrity look like there?
Pray: Jesus, teach me to love people with grace and truth. Help me choose what’s right, not what’s easy. Let my relationships be marked by integrity and kindness.
