9 So what are we saying? Are we better off? Not at all. We have already stated the charge: both Jews and Greeks are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written, There is no righteous person, not even one. 11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who looks for God. 12 They all turned away. They have become worthless together. There is no one who shows kindness. There is not even one. 13 Their throat is a grave that has been opened. They are deceitful with their tongues, and the poison of vipers is under their lips. 14 Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. 15 Their feet are quick to shed blood; 16 destruction and misery are in their ways; 17 and they don’t know the way of peace. 18 There is no fear of God in their view of the world. 19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, in order to shut every mouth and make it so the whole world has to answer to God. 20 It follows that no human being will be treated as righteous in his presence by doing what the Law says, because the knowledge of sin comes through the Law. (Romans 3:9-20, CEB)
There is no one who looks for God.
Do you look for God? Do you try and be who God has created you to be?
I want to say yes, I seek God and try to be who God created me to be.
I also know that I sometimes fall way short of being who I was created to be. I try and fail miserably. But here is the thing, I try. I know I will always come short, but I try. I try to live what I speak and walk the walk and talk the talk.
I am trying to be a person of integrity, so that what I say is what I mean and what I mean is what I say. I do not lie intentionally and I work to always be filled with Grace and peace.
Can we all do this? We could. Could you imagine what the world would be like if we did? It would be the fulfillment of the kingdom of God.
Be a person of integrity.
Love People. Love God.
