Proverbs 10:9
9 Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.
One of the advantages of purity is the accompanying reduction in stress. It takes a lot of energy and anxiety to keep secrets, to hide our dark behaviors from others. This is why when we finally are found out, it is sometimes a relief, because it means we can finally relax and admit our faults. Although we fear being "found out" (verse 9), God graciously does it for us because it is the only way to healing, integrity, and inner peace.
Lord, thank you for the benefits of integrity.
