Choosing Gain with Integrity
My dear son,
When a profit is offered, consider the route by which it comes. Unjust gain may bring temporary plenty while leaving harm in your life and the lives of people close to you. Your household matters to me.
If payment is offered to alter another person's share or a fair process, you can firmly refuse. Do not give your conscience over to the claim that everyone does it. An honest refusal helps guard the life you want to preserve.
When an offer comes today, ask about unclear conditions and judge calmly. Seek help if needed. I will strengthen the heart that values a right path beyond the gain immediately within reach.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 15:27
WEB27He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.
A short reflection
Proverbs contrasts the harm greedy, unjust gain brings to a household with the life of someone who refuses bribes.
