Most of us wait to do something wrong until no one is watching, and we wait to do something right until someone is watching. That’s not human nature. That is our sin nature. It’s our unsanctified desire for self-glorification. This will seem counterintuitive, but you don’t really care about people until you don’t care what they think. Until you’ve been crucified to their opinions of you, you can’t really help them the way you should. You have to die to them. And while you’re at it, you might as well die to your agenda, your approval ratings, and your reputation. One of my deepest desires is to be a better person in private than I am in public. I’m not there yet, but that is the goal. I want those who know me best to respect me most. That is the essence of integrity. Mark Batterson,Soul Print
