A PURE CONSCIENCE
II Corinthians 1:12
"For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity [singleness] and godly sincerity [or purity], not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you."
Paul could have been prideful and boasted about all his suffering and sacrifice for the cause of Christ. Instead, his focus was a clean conscience and God's grace, knowing that everything he did was not motivated by an ulterior motive of personal gain or praise. The praise of other people means little if I know that what I did was from a wrong motive, because I have to live with my conscience.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: A pure conscience is worth more than all the praise in the world.

Have a "pure conscience" day. Love you.
