Integrity
The garden of the heart must be tended with great care. (William Wilberforce, British statesman)
Wilberforce understood that it’s what is inside a person that determines what he does. He also said, “Life is confusing. What was to be our highest pursuit is lost as our hearts and minds become consumed by lesser issues.” Outside influences can affect one’s heart and mind, so recognize that what is essential is a heart of integrity.
As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person (Proverbs 27:19).
