.....honest

For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man 2 Corinthans 8:21

Dishonesty, even in the smallest matter may severely damage a believer's credibility. You never know how closely you are being watched. 

A businessman was invited to speak to a men's church group. His topic was honesty in the workplace and he spoke very strongly and unwaveringly on the topic. The next morning, he boarded a city bus for the ride to work. He handed a dollar bill to the driver and received some change, which he counted as he proceeded down the aisle. 

Before he reached his seat, he realized he had been given a quarter too much. His first thought was that the transit company would never miss it. However, deep inside he knew he should return the money. 

So he went back to the driver, "You gave me too much change, sir." 

To his amazement, the driver replied, "I know, a quarter too much. I gave it to you on purpose. Then I watched you in my mirror as you counted your change. You see, I heard you speak yesterday, and if you had kept the quarter, I would have written you off and everything that you said."

Remember, we may be the only Bible some people ever read!
