Integrity 2

I am still thinking about integrity; some of the words similar to it are:
Honesty, truth, truthfulness, honor, veracity, reliability, uprightness, completeness, and wholeness

Looking at the above words I think of daddy. He exhibited all of those qualities. I remember when daddy or any (or any of us) could walk into the bank ask for a loan and walk out not more than 10 minutes later with the loan. The contract was your word and a handshake. What happened to that trust? When did people lose their integrity?

Colossians 2:10
And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power.

Colossians 4:12
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

I wonder what would happen if each of us put our name in place of Epaphras, so it would read like this:

Joy, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

Father, I ask you to help each of us to be concerned about each other. Help us to pray, and encourage each other every day. Thanks, Father.
