Wherever you go, people ask if you can refer them to a building contractor who is honest; a building contractor who is on time with the specified timeline; a building contractor whose stand is clean and tidy at all times and a building contractor who refuses to use inferior quality building material.
We all need a building contractor that is all of the above and more. We need a contractor who will listen to our complaints, pay attention to the details of our snag list, complete our homes with integrity.
Sadly many expect all of the above but are not prepared to place their own lives under the microscope of morality in the pursuit of their own decadent dreams.
While schemes are planned to avoid taxes, marriages are compromised in the lust of the flesh, premeditated agendas are ripping off others to increase wealth, shortcuts are taken to complete tasks, inferior quality compromises standards, pride rules homes and hearts, all in the pursuit of greed.
Can we face and overcome our own temptations, refusing to compromise ethics and standards in our lives?
Whatever standards we wish for, we should aim as individuals to live by before we want to remove the splinter from someone else’s eye, we need to remove the beam from our own.
Honesty and integrity is a matter of the heart for every profession and every life.
May we set the standard before we judge others in any profession.
